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.
One of my favorite things about summer is the freedom to travel. My family is fortunate to have flight benefits thanks to my hardworking husband who is a commercial airline pilot and we certainly take advantage of those perks of his job. I love visiting family and friends around the country (and around the globe), seeing new places or even just escaping for a few days a short car-ride away.
Have you had a chance to take a family vacation yet this summer? How would you like to win a trip to the beach for a 4 day, 3 night stay at the Crown Reef Resort in Myrtle Beach? We are thrilled this week to bring you this exciting giveaway so be sure to enter right away! One lucky subscriber will be chosen as winner next Wednesday!
It's always nice to get away but they say there's no place like home. We are lucky to live in an area with lots of events and activities for family fun close by and great programs like a free soccer camp for boys happening next week. You can have a fantastic summer enjoying a staycation using our list of 101+ boredom busters or just splashing around the yard with a homemade sprinkler. Or take the family out for some fro-yo; we'll make it easier by awarding one of you as winner in this week's gift card giveaway to di'lishi. And someone will win another set of Crawdads tickets; we need everyone to vote for their favorites in our #LocalSummerFun Photo Contest ending on Friday.
All this and more in this week's newsletter; refer to the table of contents to make sure you don't miss anything! And as always, stay tuned to our Facebook page for all the latest updates.
Have a great week!
