Publishers Corner! Happy Halloween From Our Family To Yours.

By Melissa Shrader Editor/Publisher Fort Collins Macaroni Kid October 25, 2021

WELCOME TO PUBLISHER'S CORNER

Happy Halloween! Get your little monsters out and enjoy the festivities all over Northern Colorado! What is your favorite part Halloween? We celebrate everything about fall. The leaves changing, the harvest festivals, trick or treating and of course Dia De Los Muertos! It's all fun. My daughter is one of those kids who has several costumes. We get them all from second hand stores, ARC, and other inexpensive places. She likes to have a different costume for each trick or treat spot. She collects as much candy as possible and turns it in to a local dentist for cash or prizes. We love it and we use the Switch Witch to help us. 

We have some creative ideas that you can use on the candy you get from trick or treating!

Have a Fun and Safe Halloween!  

We are so busy we are looking for an assistant! If you know of a student who would like to help out with adding events please let them know we would love the help. If you or someone you know is interested please let us know. You can contact me Melissa at melissas@macaronikidcom and put Assistant in the subject. 




What are we up to?

With the lift of the Mask Mandate, we have seen a jump in events! Yay! Keep in mind that each event has its own rules and guidelines for attendance. As things change with the CDC COVID guidelines and local guidelines events may still be canceled or changed to meet those guidelines. Keep an eye out I will be adding events as quickly as possible. However, If you know of an event or have an event you want to add please feel free to do so. I get notifications of events to approve before they post.

 Post it on our calendar at  https://fortcollins.macaronikid.com/events/submit

Don't forget to check out Facebook too for other events that have been popping up randomly since the State has changed the Stay at home quarantine to the Safer at the home guideline.

If you have other things you want to see Mac Kid do drop me an email. 

If you want to partner with Mac Kid I'd love to hear from you.

Remember with any event, If the weather looks questionable, - Always check in with the event itself to be sure the event is still on! You can email me as well. ESPECIALLY IN SPRING AND FALL. Now that COVID has come please comply with the COVID guidelines requested by each establishment and organizer. If you have a question about their policies please contact them directly. COVID Guidelines change regularly, so be sure to make sure that an event is still compliant and not canceled.  We will update events regularly however we can't catch everything. 

If you have the newsletter you only have part of the fun! I post on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram with holiday and everyday crafts, recipes, special offers, contests, news, and new events. (see the tabs on the right or at the bottom to visit the social site) 

Stay safe, Stay healthy, Love, Live and Be Fierce for what you believe,
