From the Publishers.......

Can you believe it is almost August? Where has the summer gone? I know it has been so hot and humid and not really my favorite type of weather but I can be thankful when I think of the below zero snowy days of winter. You still have plenty of time to enjoy what is left of the summer. Check out our calendar if you are still looking for some fun activities to do with your family. We have been working hard to fill the calendar with all the local family friendly events in the community.

When I think of August I think of barbecues, water melon, water fun, outdoor family games, cabin time, and festivals and of course we all have to start the thoughts of back to school. Thanks for keeping Macaroni Kid in mind when filling out your family's social calendar. We appreciate you all. 

We do value your feedback and would love it if you could take a moment to fill out this survey with your thoughts on Macaroni Kid. We want to continue to mold our newsletter and website into the best possible resource for you and for our community. As a thank you for your time and thoughts we will draw a winner from all those who respond. The prize? A giftcard to CherryBerry (a favorite spot of my little guys)! Of course, please don't ever feel like you need to wait for a survey to share your thoughts and comments. Your ideas and insight are always welcome. Please email at anytime!

Please note: You may notice a more condensed format to our articles this week - with all the summer happenings, we are trialing a version of combining like topics and activities under single article headings. Within the body of each article you will then find images linked to more detailed listings and articles. We hope this creates a cleaner, more user-friendly experience as you search out those topics and activities of interest to your families. Don't forget that you can access our calendar at anytime via the heading on our website or the image link below. Have a great week!

Then followed that beautiful season... Summer....
Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light; and the landscape
Lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood.
