Here we are again... another snow day. They say this may be the big winter storm for this year, with as much as 8 inches forecasted. As I write this Wednesday night, heavy snow falls steadily out my window; we'll see how much is on the ground by the time this hits your inbox in the morning. You may find helpful this article with snow game ideas, our winter fun guide or this list of thirteen indoor activities to keep the kids entertained over the next few days.
Meanwhile, this week's newsletter is jam-packed with helpful information. We wrap up February with our last piece for Children's Dental Health Month on cavity prevention and sneak in an article for Heart Health Month with ways to reduce your heart disease risk. We'll kick off March with a fun event on Sunday at our pre-release screening of Disney's "Tinker Bell and the Legend of the NeverBeast" which comes out on DVD on Tuesday (we hope you can join us for the free movie showing!) And Sunday night is the end of the voting round in our annual Gold Daisy Awards so be sure to tell us which local businesses you love most before time runs out!
March brings with it consignment season; check out our five tips for making money by consigning your kids' items and learn more about the Children's Boutique Resale coming to Hickory mid-month. Plus, spring is right around the corner and there's no better place to celebrate and get ready for its arrival than the annual Carolina Home and Garden Show. We have TEN sets of tickets to give away in addition to our EXCLUSIVE half-off COUPON!
This and more awaits in this week's newsletter issue; refer to the table of contents for all that is inside. Stay tuned to our calendar for all the scoop on local family-friendly events and be sure to follow our Facebook page for all the latest updates.
Have a great week and stay warm!
