By Stacey Jones September 27, 2020

We've launched our Gold Daisy Award nominations today. We're looking to our readers to tell us their favorite local businesses to recognize. Full details and the nomination form are found inside this article. Have you bookmarked our Fall and Halloween Event Guide for 2020 yet?  Congratulations to Mary Ferreri, the lucky Macaroni Kid subscriber who won our giveaway on our Facebook page for a family four pack of ride passes to iPlay America last week.

We are thrilled to be your local resource to keep your family happily entertained in our community. Remember to check our events calendar daily. It is consistently updated with new events to help you find exciting family entertainment right in our community. Here are five ways to help local small business in our community. Now that things are re-opening, let's get out and support our local businesses in whatever way you can and make sure to tell them you saw it on Macaroni Kid.
