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.
After what seemed like 2 weeks of gray, dreary and rainy days, it's been wonderful to see the blue skies return this week. Last weekend was a total wash-out and it's too bad it fell on days packed full of activities. While many events were cancelled last weekend, a bunch were rescheduled and we have updated our calendar with those changes based on the information we could find. I was lucky to have missed all that rain while in Ft Lauderdale for the annual Macaroni Kid Meetup but was able to bring some of the sun and warmth back with me for you to enjoy. :)
Know what else I have for you this week? How about THREE GIVEAWAYS? Six lucky families will win tickets to the circus in Newton this weekend, two families will get complimentary admission to the Carolina BalloonFest next Sunday and one family will enjoy a movie night with a free download of Disney's Tomorrowland starring George Clooney. That's 9 chances to win this week but be sure to enter right away as some of the prizes will be awarded as soon as this Friday morning!
As always, our newsletter is full of local event information, including an updated list of upcoming fall festivals and 85+ ideas of autumn activities, plus tips for enjoying a football game with the kids. Refer to the table of contents for all that is inside this issue, browse our calendar packed with event listings and stay tuned to our MacKidHickory Facebook page for the latest updates.
Have a great week!
