Hi Macaroni Kid Families!

A Note from your Publisher

By Denise Granata March 21, 2019

Hi everyone!  Are you ready for Spring Break?? It's coming next week for Manatee County!  If you haven't set your kids up for anything, check out my Spring Break Guide for lots of great ideas!

And then once you have the kids set for Spring Break, head over to my Summer Camp Guide and get them set for the summer!  There are over 35+ local camps in my Guide and there is something for everyone!  Be sure to tell them Bradenton Macaroni Kid sent you! 

Our Summer Camp Highlight for this week is Ancient Ways Martial Arts Academy. Weekly camps (with some awesome themes!) are available for boys and girls ages 6 to 12.  Camps are from 9AM to 3:30PM with no charge for early drop off or late pick up!  Camps include active play, cultural training, internal field trips, arts & crafts, martial arts training and life lessons.  Register early for the best deal!!

To celebrate the start of Spring (and summer not far behind) we did an awesome giveaway last week for 4 tickets to Adventure Island.  Congratulations to Tarrah Keefe!

I have two fun giveaways going on this week.  The first one is for my ULTIMATE Monster Jam fans!  The World Finals is coming to the Camping World Stadium in Orlando May 10-11 and I have four tickets plus pit passes to give away! Think Super Bowl or World Series...this is the BIG ONE for Monster Jam!  For your chance to be there in person to see it all, enter HERE!

Our second giveaway comes to us from Florida Studio Theatre.  Their children series is wrapping up with the production of A Beary Big Adventure & Other Winning Plays.  If you have not seen one of their shows yet, you are missing out! They do a phenomenal job! I am looking forward to this production because it consists of a series of short plays written by elementary school children and then is performed by professional actors.  If you would like to check it out, enter to win four free tickets to the Sunday March 31st show at 10AM HERE.

Something to put on your calendar for a fun little day trip - Ruth Eckerd Hall will be hosting a FREE interactive children's art festival on Saturday, April 6 from 10AM to 2PM.  There is a ton of FREE entertainment going on, including live music, hands-on art experiences, vendors, food trucks, face painting, professional chalk exhibits and more!  Get all the details HERE

I'm pretty excited about our Spring Break!  We are headed to LEGOLAND to check out the Grand Opening of their NEW LEGO Movie World!  The official Grand Opening is March 27 and it looks like it is going to be AWESOME!!  Be sure to follow along with me on Instagram and Facebook as I share all about it! Just a heads up that since I won't be returning home until Thursday afternoon, my newsletter will be coming out on Friday morning instead of Thursday like it normally does.   

I hope everyone has an amazing Spring Break!  Enjoy this time with your families before we head back to school to finish up the year and slide into summer!  See you next week!
