Find Your Family Fun!

By Shannon O'Donnell November 2, 2023

Happy Thursday, welcome to this weekly edition of A Note From Your Publisher!  We hope those who participated in Halloween had a wonderful fun evening. My children were exhausted but got a lot of candy and had fun. Today we will head to Salem to watch the Cirque Italia Water Circus. You can still get tickets here

Businesses can now sign up for a variety of sponsorships by creating a business directory. We will then reach out to you to get images and set up a contract. You can learn more here. This is also how local businesses can sign up to participate in our 2023 Holiday Guide.

Have a fabulous week, thanks for being a loyal Macaroni KID NRV subscriber and thanks to our sponsors for keeping Macaroni KID NRV a free resource for all families. Thanks to the families who recommend us on Facebook, we see and appreciate you!
