**SOLD OUT FOR 2024 - PLEASE KEEP THE BOO'ING GOING IN YOUR OWN NEIGHBORHOOD**
We are bringing back the BOO Baskets for 2024!
Let's Get BOO'd Cedar Valley #BOOCedarValley
For the last few years, we have delivered 100 BOO Baskets to local families! Each basket had an array of treats and trinkets for kids to enjoy and has been a great surprise for the littles. We received such a positive response to our BOO Baskets, we just couldn't hold out and not do it again this year. This article will serve as an information center to find out what the BOO Baskets are, how to sign up to receive one, and how to help sponsor this awesome, fun Halloween community give-back opportunity.
A BOO Baskets is a basket filled with Halloween treats, toys and goodies that we will deliver to 100 Families in the Cedar Valley. The baskets will be 100% FREE. That's right, we will be delivering the Baskets to your house (or providing a pick up option) and you won't pay for anything. How is this possible? This is possible because of the amazing local Business Sponsors who help fund this project.
After you receive your BOO Basket, you will be responsible to BOO two (2) more families of your choosing (friends, family, neighbors, etc.) with a basket filled with Halloween goodies and treats. Make sure when you are BOO-ing you are quiet! It's supposed to be a mystery who is BOOing you! Then make sure to share the fun on social media by tagging #BOOCedarValley
Like most fun things in life, there are some rules for our BOO Baskets. Please make sure you read these so you understand when it comes time to sign up for a BOO Basket.
1. You MUST be a Macaroni KID Cedar Falls-Waterloo subscriber – you can sign up for FREE here → SIGN UP HERE
2. Deliveries will happen between October 14th-23rd
3. You must enter your ENTIRE address – ie: 1234 Simple Street, Hometown, Iowa, NO PO BOXES. We can’t deliver BOO baskets if we don’t have an address.
4. You MUST live within Independence, Jesup, Evansdale, Waterloo, or Cedar Falls to receive delivery - if your house is in the Cedar Valley, but outside of those towns (i.e. Denver, Waverly, rural location more than 1 mile from town, etc.), you will be given the option to come pick your basket up.
5. We cannot BOO high rise apartment buildings, locked communities, or gated homes. We need to be able to access your door from the street. You may still sign up, but you will need to pick up your basket.
6. You Must have the intention to BOO Two (2) More Families – that’s the whole fun of this!
7. There are only 100 spots available and a limited number of deliveries – once they are taken, we will be unable to take additional entries.
8. We will send an email the week of deliveries letting you know we are coming around BOO’ing. I will try to do this during the school day so the kids don't "catch" us, but we may also have some evening deliveries.
9. If it is raining, we will not BOO that day. I don’t want to leave your baskets outside in the rain.
10. PLEASE BE PATIENT!! We have many houses to deliver baskets to. We give ourselves a full week to deliver the baskets. We have a map and organize our deliveries by area. So please be patient with us 😄
11. Macaroni KID takes no responsibility for stolen baskets or baskets that may have had critters in them.
12. Please be sure your house number is visible from the street. We don’t want to deliver to the wrong house but we are human and mistakes can happen.
13. HAVE FUN and HAVE A HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! 🎃🎃🎃
