* GIVEAWAY! Safer Halloween Fun: Boo Baskets * 2 Ways to WIN! *

We're BOOing Stafford, Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania! Plus BOO your friends to WIN BIG!

By Jenny Sites October 8, 2020


This year has been a whirlwind of surprises, changes, and tons of cancellations. We LOVE bringing family fun events to the community and we're just as bummed as you are that the annual Trunk Or Treat and lots of other Halloween/Fall Fun has been cancelled. So, Macaroni Kid Fredericksburg is making BOO Baskets and surprising 100 local families in Spotsylvania, Stafford and Fredericksburg with a BOO Basket on their porch!  These families can enjoy their goodies and then "BOO it forward"!

What is a Boo Basket?

It's simply a little Halloween treat that you leave on your neighbor's doorstep to surprise them! There are no rules about how big or small, just an act of kindness to bring a smile to their faces.  


Would you like to enter your family to win one of the BOO Baskets?  You can enter here!



Since we can't make it to everyone, we'd love to pass the BOO on to you! 

You don't have to receive a basket to give one! Start the trend in your neighborhood and give out a couple of baskets to get the BOO going.  Then, share this article with friends so they can BOO too! 

When you BOO your friends and neighbors (see directions below), take a photo and post it on social media with the #MacKidFXBG.  We will be drawing 1 random family to win a Big Boo Basket full of Family Fun!
