About The Publisher: Shannon O'Donnell

My name is Shannon O'Donnell, I am the Publisher & Editor of Macaroni KID NRV. We were the first family digital resource in South West Virginia. You may email me at mackidnewrivervalley@macaronikid.com. 

Be sure to follow Macaroni KID NRV on Facebook, X, and Instagram. Sign up for our FREE weekly email newsletters full of articles, local guides, events and directory listings.  

We are able to keep our resources free for families by having small businesses in the New River Valley advertise with us. This is a great way for you to learn about local businesses and we can remain free for you. You can learn more about advertising in our Media Kit. 

A Little About Me:

I am a Blacksburg native. I married my high school sweetheart over 23 years ago. We have three children and a super spoiled Australian Shepherd. We love spending time at the river, lake, St. Pete area, local events, and the pool. Can you see a trend here? We love the water and summer!

I look forward to helping you find your family fun!
