Happy Thanksgiving. I want to extend my deep thanks for all of you. I truly appreciate the time you take to read our newsletter every week, follow and engage on social media and share in community. Every week I search to find family-friendly and parent-friendly fun in McDonough, Stockbridge, Hampton, Locust Grove and surrounding areas. Making memories and sharing in experiences is a gift we give our families, friends, and ourselves. I hope each of ou have an opportunity to make a happy memory this season and I hope Macaroni KID can be a part of leading you to that experience.

This weekend, we also have Black Friday and Small Business Saturday and it is an important time of year to get out and support our local businesses and artisans while making family memories. Every week, we look at our event calendar and choose five to ten things to do in and around Henry county over the coming week. We try to pick something for the everyone in the family. Click on the links for all the details! Check our Events Calendar for more options. If you think something should be on our list next week, email mackidmcdonough@macaronikid.com with your suggestion!


Happy Thanksgiving!
