By Kelly Bevan McIlquham, Publisher, Berkshires Macaroni Kid June 25, 2018


Want a unique and creative way to explore the Berkshires with your kids this summer? Want to receive some special discounts as well?  I'm super excited to announce the kickoff of our first-ever Berkshires Macaroni Summer Passport Program. 

How it Works:

  • Families can visit local venues, attractions, and businesses using stamps as guidance below
  • Children can cut and paste provided stamps into their passport after they visit the suggested destination
  • Passport holders receive special discounts from our sponsors below (passport must be presented to receive the deal), many deals of which benefit mom, dad, and adult caregivers. 
  • Visit 10 or more venues? Take a photo of your child's passport and send it to kellym@macaronikid.com to be entered to win a Back-to-School Bag of Goodies. 
  • Tag photos of your family and/or child(ren) with passport(s) at local attractions on social media #berkshiresmackid to give us permission to share. 
  • One passport per child please; we're using the honor system. 
  • Sponsored deals run June 25-Aug. 31, 2018.
