Macaroni Minute (10.23.2021)

A Note from Your Publisher

September 23, 2021

Well friends, here we are again. I've updated the calendar as best I can, noting cancelled events, but please make sure to check with the venue before attending to make sure your desired event is still going ahead AND to check to see if they are following the REP or are at 1/3 capacity. Above all else, BE KIND. I've seen some horrible comments on social media this week, directed at our local businesses who are just trying to stay in business. 

I know the basis of Macaroni Kid is to provide you with a jam-packed calendar full of local, free (or nearly free) events and activities and sadly, the calendar is looking a little empty. Again. I'm still on the hunt for calendar events, but I fear that it will remain empty-ish for the near future. In the meantime, I'll load the website with crafts, at-home activities on online fun like free digital escape rooms

Speaking of events, the Trunk-or-Treat is currently sold out, but please add yourself to the waitlist. I am hopeful that I will be able to add more tickets closer to October 30. I'm also trying to plan some Candy Cane Hunts - stay tuned!! 

While you are browsing the website, don't forget to show the sponsors some love! Businesses like Cobb's Adventure Park are what keep this website running! Cobb's Adventure Park is a 10-minute drive away from Chestermere, and I can personally say that they are amazing. We've been to the park many times and had a drive-by kangaroo birthday party (SO much fun!!!!)



Interested in more details about advertising with Macaroni Kid Chestermere? Send me an email and tell me a bit about your business, what you'd like to achieve and your budget, and I'd be more than happy to tailor a package just for you.  


Helping you find your family fun,
