BOO Bags are coming to Chesapeake, VA this October! What started as a fun but safe way for Macaroni KID publishers to help their local communities celebrate Halloween in 2020 has now become an annual tradition. Thanks to local business and community sponsors, these BOO Bags will be completely FREE for 100 Chesapeake families. But you'll have to agree to BOO it forward!
Learn More about our BOO Bags below and how to snag one!

- Deliveries will happen between September 30 - October 10, 2024
- You must enter your ENTIRE address – e.g. 1234 Simple Street, Chesapeake, VA 23320. We cannot deliver if we don’t have an address.
- You MUST live in one of the following Chesapeake zip codes: 23320, 23321, 23322, 23323, 23324, 23325. If you do not, you will need to pick up your basket. Basket arrangements will be organized by the publisher at a later date. You will receive an email.
- We cannot BOO apartment complexes where the front door is shared with other tenants. We need to be able to access your door from the street. This means us getting out of the car and being able to knock on your door which leads directly into your house. If you live in an apartment complex, you may still sign up but you will need to pick up your basket. Please reach out if you have additional questions.
- You must agree to BOO 2 - 3 More Families – that’s the whole fun of this!
- There will be 1 Bag per House – NOT per child.
- There are only 100 Spots available – we cannot take on additional entries no matter the circumstances. You may be added to a wait list but this does not guarantee a BOO Bag.
- We will send an email the week of deliveries letting you know we are coming around BOO’ing. PLEASE INFORM ALL ADULTS IN THE HOUSE.
- 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.
- We try to BOO between 5:30PM - 8:30PM. We stop ringing/knocking on doors at 9PM but BOOing will continue.
- We DO NOT BOO in the rain. I don’t want to leave your bags outside in the rain because the contents inside may get destroyed.
- PLEASE BE PATIENT!! We have 100 houses to deliver. We give ourselves a full week (7 days) to deliver the bags. We have a map and organize our deliveries by area. So please be patient with us 😄 Delivery of the baskets takes a lot of time, organizing and gas. We are not Santa Claus; we cannot boo 100 houses in one night.
- Macaroni KID Chesapeake bears no responsibility for stolen bags or bags that may have been destroyed due to animals after delivery.
- If you were going to pick up your bag and can no longer do so, LET ME KNOW ASAP. That way I can relinquish your bag to another family. You will NOT be penalized if you inform me.
- If you no-show picking up your bag, you will no longer be allowed to reserve a BOO Bag in future years.
(While supplies last!)
