WELCOME TO MACARONI KID Hickory/Western Piedmont!

Newsletter for July 30 - August 5, 2015

July 30, 2015

Thanks for joining us! We are here for NC Western Piedmont area moms and dads, grandparents and caretakers too, who love finding fun, family-friendly things to do in Hickory, Lenoir, Newton-Conover, Morganton, Taylorsville and surrounding areas.  New to us?  Click here for a quick tour.  

This week's newsletter is all about sports and games. Physical exercise is good for the mind, body and spirit, with benefits that extend into personal development and relationships. Summer is a great time to try out a new sport via a summer camp; sports leagues offered in the fall and spring through your city's athletic department or Upward Sports also provide a great opportunity for kids to engage in physical activity on a team. Find lots of local information in this newsletter issue to help your child get active, browse thru lots of activities on our event calendar and don't miss this week's giveaway where at least three lucky subscribers will win a set of tickets to a Hickory Crawdads baseball game!

Looking for more? We have your ultimate guide to local summer fun with our list of 101+ summer boredom busters! With tons of places and venues to visit, our list of local places to get wet, places for family bike rides and summer movie showings, plus free programs like Kids Skate Free, AMF Summer Games, South Mountains State Park Summer Kids Club, and summer reading, there's no time for boredom this summer!  Count on Macaroni Kid to help you entertain, stimulate and exhaust your kids and make lasting memories with your family all season long! As always, stay tuned to our MacKidHickory page and the Free & Cheap Summer Fun event page for all the latest updates.
