WELCOME TO MACARONI KID Hickory/Western Piedmont!

Newsletter for August 27 - September 2, 2015

August 27, 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.  

Now that the kids are back in school, it's time to settle into daily schedules and routines. This week's newsletter will help you do that with helpful information on a fantastic after-school drama program at The Green Room Community Theatre, a list of love notes for your child's lunchbox, a printable after-school checklist, an app to help you track household inventory, and other great back to school articles in our archives.

Events slow down some during the month of September, but you'll still find lots to choose from on our calendar. Make plans for the upcoming Hickory American Legion Fair and don't miss your chance to win tickets to Day Out with Thomas! And if you need more ideas for your family fun, refer to our list of 101+ summer boredom busters, local places for family bike rides, places to get wet, and local farmers markets.

Our MacKidHickory Facebook page always has all the latest updates and we're still posting some information on the Free & Cheap Summer Fun event page which may soon be replaced/updated to cover fall events so be sure to watch for that. 

Have a great week!
