Macaroni KID is "Booing" the Brainerd Lakes Area!

Subscribe today to get the chance to sign up to be one of the 100 families boo'd this Halloween!

By Arianna Larson September 29, 2023

Together, with the help of other local businesses, Macaroni KID Brainerd, Little Falls, Long Prairie, Mille Lacs is filling and delivering 100 "Boo Baskets" throughout the BLA to surprise and delight local families. These baskets are filled with trinkets, candy, and more! It's our hope to spread some fun, spook-free cheer to the little faces that call this community home.


We will be BOO'ing 100 families in and around Brainerd from October 15 - 18, 2023. This is entirely FREE! We will come to your house, drop off a basket of Halloween goodies, and leave instructions that YOU'VE BEEN BOO'D and how to keep the fun going! It is then up to you to boo TWO more families with a small basket of goodies and the instructions.


Access the forms needed for the basket below. You will need TWO of each to put in their respective baskets for you to use when boo'ing others!






So, how do you get a "Boo Basket?" 

1. Fill out the form hereThis form is no longer available as all 100 boo baskets have been claimed.

2. Live within the city limits of Aitkin, Baxter, Brainerd, Little Falls, Nisswa, or Pequot Lakes. If you live outside one of these cities, please know there will be an option to pick up your basket at one of the participating sponsors, Elevate Wellness. Understandably so, this will be a big commitment and my family and I can't drive all throughout the greater Brainerd Lakes Area. Thank you for understanding!

3. You MUST be willing to boo two more families. Please do not sign up if you are not going to keep the chain reaction going. This is meant to be fun for the kids and to encourage a "pass it on" movement.

4. Subscribe to Macaroni KID Brainerd, Little Falls, Long Prairie, Mille Lacs - do so HERE. By filling out the form, you are also consenting to signing up for the newsletter. Don't worry, it's entirely FREE and you can unsubscribe at anytime. Although, if you do that you could miss out on other fun Macaroni KID Brainerd giveaways!

5. You MUST supply your address in the form - we cannot boo your house unless an address is provided. Don't worry, this information is not shared with ANYONE. I am the only person who has access to the sign up forms.

6. Shop, visit, like/follow some of our AMAZING sponsors! Without their support, this would not be possible!

7. Boo Baskets will be delivered between October 15 - 18, 2023. 


And, how do you "boo" someone?

1. Fill a Halloween basket with goodies (candy, glow sticks, stickers, decals, straws, etc.) Or, include something homemade! It doesn't have to be much!

2. Make 2 copies of the "YOU'VE BEEN BOO'D" sign and 2 copies of the "WE'VE BEEN BOO'D" sign and place them in the baskets.

3. Leave your basket on the doorstep of a friend, family member, neighbor, etc. then ring the doorbell and run!

The recipient opens the door to see they have been "boo'd!" Children will love being surprised by the basket of goodies and the instructions explaining that they need to make a basket and boo two more families! Like in many other instances of giving, boo'ing others is sure to be more fun than getting the candy itself.    

Happy Boo'ing and Happy Halloween!

Thank you to these WONDERFUL sponsors!
