By Nicole Shank, Publisher Macaroni KID Cecil - NE Harford September 27, 2024

The air is getting cooler and the leaves are starting to turn so not only have we updated our Event Calendar with a ton of Fall and Halloween events, but we're also filling up 120 Boo Bags! (Bags not Buckets 🧑)

A Boo Bag is a gift bag full of Halloween Fun!  We stuff our bags with items from our sponsors along with additional goodies. Check below to find out more about these great sponsors!

There are THREE ways to get a Boo Bag for your family! 

Choose Porch drop-off OR pick-up. 

There will also be the option for random pop-ups through the month of October at local businesses.


1) Boo Bag Porch Drop-Off

Families can sign up to be chosen to have a Boo Bag dropped off on their porch!  1 entry per family. Names are drawn randomly and bags will be placed on porches between October 5-26, 2024. 

πŸ‘»What happens if we are chosen to get a Boo Bag?

If your family is chosen to get a Boo Bag, the bag will show up on your porch between October 5th and October 26th.  Once you get the bag, the items inside are yours to enjoy! We simply ask that, in order to keep the fun going, you Boo another family or two! Here's how:

  • Make copies of the instructions / We've been BOO'd sign to put in the baskets you're going to hand out. (You can also print a copy HERE)
  • Put together 1 or 2 BOO Bags/Baskets filled with Halloween or Fall themed goodies and trinkets - whatever you'd like! 
  • In each bag/basket that you're giving, place one copy of the flyer.
  • Please BOO 1-2 within 3 days of being Boo'd. They can be anyone you want; cousins, friends, church members, classmates, etc.. Anyone! Just keep the fun going! Just leave the bag/basket on their porch and ring the bell. 
  • Hang your "WE'VE BEEN BOO'd" sign on your door or in the window to let other families know you were already BOO'd.
  •  Take a picture of you buckets and share to social media tag Macaroni KID Cecil - NE Harford. Chance to win more prizes. #MacKIDCecilHarfordBoo
