Around the Valley 03.23.2023

Happy Thursday & first week of Spring! Woo-hoo! We hope you are having a great week. My family enjoyed the 2023 AMA Arenacross Championship at Salem Civic Center last weekend. It was a night to remember and the kids really liked the Track Party before the races.

Thanks to Sinkland Farms Easter Eggs-Travaganza for sponsoring our 2023 Easter Guide, provided in this week's newsletter. This weekend is full of lots of family fun and warm weather. Macaroni KID Roanoke will be set up at the LFA Kids Consignment Sale sharing Summer Camps information. Stop by and say hi if you are attending.

There will NOT be a newsletter sent out on Thursday, May 4, 2023. We will resume the following week, thank you for your understanding.

Come see for yourself why Jurassic Quest is America’s biggest and most popular dinosaur event at the Berglund Center in Roanoke, VA from March 31st - April 2nd!

Our Summer Camps & Program Guide has a couple new camps this week. If you have a camp or program to add to our guide please contact us at mackidnewrivervalley@macaronikid.com.
