Macaroni Kid is excited to announce that it has returned to South Central Pennsylvania! For years, Macaroni Kid was the go-to source for families looking to connect to kid friendly events, venues, and businesses in the Cumberland Valley and Capital Area. In May, three neighboring regions re-opened to the delight of families across the region! Macaroni KID is a free weekly e-newsletter and website that highlights all of the great things for kids and their families to do in our community with a primary goal of fostering the village that we all need to raise compassionate and resilient children and help create the lasting memories that will shape the next generation.

Under the stewardship of Rahael Benion (Harrisburg and West Shore), Kendra Bradford (Carlisle to Shippensburg) and Amanda Scheler (Hershey to Elizabethtown), Macaroni Kid is poised to quickly re-establish itself as the go-to source for all things family. “As a mom of 4 (with a fifth on the way), I know how difficult it has been to keep track of the fun and enriching events and activities available for kids. I’m extremely excited to bring Macaroni Kid to our community and look forward to the opportunity to support the many cultural, not-for-profit, school and just plain fun things there are to do in South Central PA.” Macaroni Kid covers the spectrum of things to do with kids -- classes, shows, events as well as things to do at home, cooking projects, book reviews, arts and crafts and more.

Parents can sign up to receive their weekly newsletter by visiting www.macaronikid.com and selecting Harrisburg and West Shore, Carlisle, or Hershey from the drop down list. In addition to events in the Cumberland Valley and Capital Region, we’ll be bringing reviews and insights about events and activities in and around Harrisburg, as well as featuring exciting ideas for family road trips and travel.
