They're baaaaaaack! 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 Brainerd Lakes Area to surprise and delight local families. These baskets are filled with trinkets, coupons, 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 Brainerd/Baxter and Little Falls communities the weekend of October 11th and 12th. This is entirely FREE!

NEW this year - each basket will include a painted rock. Please help spread kindness by hiding the rock at a park, while out on a walk, at the library, etc. for another child to find.

Live within the city limits of Baxter, Brainerd, or Little Falls. If you live outside one of these cities, please know there will be an option to pick up your basket at the business of our TITLE sponsor: Katy Pittman, Relator with Weichert Relators. 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!
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 and delete it once the event is over. *If you live in an apartment - the door HAS to be accessible via the street. My children deliver most of the baskets and because of this are not going to enter an apartment complex to do so.
Shop, visit, like/follow some of our wonderful sponsors! Without their support, this would not be possible!
Boo Baskets will be delivered the weekend of October 11 - 12, 2025 weather permitting.

Want to take the fun a step further? Consider Boo'ing another family!

Fill a Halloween basket with goodies (candy, glow sticks, stickers, decals, straws, etc.) Or, include something homemade! It doesn't have to be much!
Make a copy of the "YOU'VE BEEN BOO'D" sign and a copy of the "WE'VE BEEN BOO'D" sign and place them in the basket.
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 another family! Like in many other instances of giving, boo'ing others is sure to be more fun than getting the candy itself. 🤗
