Find Your Family Fun this Fall With Holidays and Traditions

By Melissa Shrader Editor Publisher Loveland Macaroni Kid October 5, 2020

WELCOME TO PUBLISHER'S CORNER!

I love fall! The colors changing all around. The clear skies (usually), The festivals (usually). And family gatherings (usually). I know things are different and it can be interesting to navigate. It hasn't stopped celebrations from happening. As they say "Halloween isn't Canceled!" Neither is fall. There are some wonderful events still going on as well as pumpkin patches that are open and ready for you to visit! We have our favorites and I bet you do too.

We pick a pumpkin or two and then we get some fun new pumpkin shapes or colors. We also get some decorative gourds, colorful ears of corn, and we try to find the "tiniest pumpkins ever", and the "most unique thing". The most unique thing can be literally anything. A different shape of pumpkin we haven't ever seen, a new decoration, just anything that is different than we've seen before at our pumpkin patches. 

We have so much to celebrate and so much to be thankful for.

What are you thankful for? What are you celebrating? 

We'd love to hear all about it!

 Keep a Watchful Eye! 

The calendar will slowly begin to repopulate with in person events and we will keep virtual events too. Many of the usual events we would normally see during the summer have been canceled and will not resume again till next year. Some have just rescheduled. Keep an eye out I will be verifying events asap and regularly.  We will update you as we get information. Most updates will happen on Facebook and here. 

Online Events and Gatherings that are open to all are welcome on our calendar. Do you have a virtual class, A virtual event, Something fun for everyone?  Post it on our calendar at  https://fortcollins.macaronikid.com/events/submit

Don't forget to checkout 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 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 call or text 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 with their policies pleases contact them directly.

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) 

Wishing you Love, Light and fun for the week (and your life) ahead! 

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