Hi Macaroni Kid Families!

A Note from your Publisher

By Denise Granata April 4, 2019

Hi everyone!  I hope you had a great Spring Break!  My family sure did!  We went to LEGOLAND to check out the opening of the NEW LEGO Movie World section. It was awesome!  Check out my review of it HERE.

Congratulations to our giveaway winner from last week!  ABIGAIL WILLIAMS won four tickets to see Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood Live: King for a Day at Ruth Eckerd Hall on April 13. Enjoy!

Well, there are only about 8 weeks of school left and I don't think I have to tell you what that means!  I'll just leave THIS right here for ya! :)   And our camp highlights for this week include:

Ovation Summer Camp - Kids will perform songs and dances from famous musicals and shows including Hamilton, Aladdin, Moana and Toy Story. Morning camps available for ages 3 to 5 and all day camps are available for ages 6 to 18.

Art & Soul Summer Dance Experience - Summer camp for boys and girls ages 4 to 12 years old.  Chose from 8 weekly themed camps that include games, Hip Hop and Fortnite Dance Classes, arts & crafts, pizza and a mini-show for parents every Friday!  Camp is from 9AM to 4PM with before and after care available.  Tell them Bradenton Macaroni Kid sent you and get a FREE water bottle with registration.



I have good news for those of you with younger kids who love soccer. HappyFeet, a nationally recognized and professionally developed child-fitness program for children, is coming to Lakewood Ranch!  Their Spring League for children ages 3 to 8 starts in just a few weeks at the Premier Sports Campus at Lakewood Ranch.  Get more information and register them HERE.

There are a lot of FUN things going on this weekend, including the opening game of the Bradenton Marauders baseball season Saturday night!  I'm super excited to have partnered with the Marauders again this year and to celebrate the season starting, we are giving away tickets to an upcoming game - Nickelodeon Night will be Saturday, April 20 and will feature special appearances from Chase and Marshall from Paw Patrol, a pre-game Easter Egg Hunt, a jersey auction and post-game fireworks!  Sound fun?  Enter for your chance to win a family four pack of tickets PLUS four food vouchers to snack on some yummy ballpark food HERE.   

Also this Saturday morning is the Children's Book Fair and Family Day at the Bradenton Farmer's Market in Downtown Bradenton.  This is a fun FREE event featuring local children's authors, scavenger hunts, music classes, painting, vegetable planting and more. 

And there are even a few Egg Hunts starting this weekend - be sure to check out my Easter Events and Activities Guide for the complete list!  And, as always, check out the calendar for your list of daily events.

Enjoy your weekend and I will see you back here next week!
