By Courtney Jennings, Publisher Acadia-St. Landry September 13, 2021

Halloween might look a little different than in past years, but in this case, different is going to be AMAZING!  

Let's pay it forward and flood our community with kindness this Halloween with BOO BUCKETS!


What is a Boo Basket?  

It's simply a little Halloween treat that you leave on a neighbors doorstep to surprise them! There are no rules to how big or small it has to be, just an act of kindness to bring a smile to someone's face. Let's face it, we have all had a pretty rough time this past year and a little kindness goes a long way.


Macaroni KID Acadia-St. Landry will be delivering BOO Buckets to new email subscribers! You must sign up for the FREE weekly newsletter to be entered to receive one then fill out the form (see linked below). The winner's Boo buckets will vary from those in the image below. These are just an example: 





How does it work?

If you receive a Boo Bucket:

  1. Enjoy your treat and have fun trying to figure out who left it for you.
  2. Tape the "We've Been Boo'd" sign on your door or front window.
  3. Print out 2 copies of the "You've Been Boo'd" page and the "We've Been Boo'd" page and make 2 Boo Buckets to give to your neighbors or friends (printable below)
  4. Deliver your baskets STEALTHFULLY to 2 neighbors who haven't been Boo'd yet

*You don't have to receive a bucket to give one!  Start the trend in your neighborhood and give out a couple of baskets. Print out our Boo printables below    to start Booing friends and family in your neighborhood! 

Want to receive a surprise Boo Bucket from Macaroni Kid and our sponsors? Please see rules and full details then Complete this form. Good luck! We will select 100 Boo Bucket winners at random!

Odds of receiving a bucket will be dependent on the number of entries. ONE Bucket per household please! Multiple entries will not guarantee you receive a bucket.  Giveaway will remain open until October 6! (EXTENDED for 1 week)
