By Jenn Grubb Editor/Publisher Macaroni Kid Colorado Springs April 24, 2023

Happy July!! 

I hope everyone had a nice 4th of July. 

I can't believe that is is already July and we are already 1/2 way through the year! 


Looking for some Free Fun this week??

 Here are 97 FREE events for the week of July 6th - 13th 

Don't forget to check the calendar for other great events going on! 

 

 I am also going to be trying a new "Macaroni Monday" Live on Monday nights at 7:00pm where you can come on,

  meet me, say "hi" and ask questions, make suggestions, brainstorm with me and help me make Macaroni Kid even better! 

 

  If you can't find an event that works for you, we have plenty of fun using the search bar!

 Type in Slime, playdoh, pintables, recipes anything you can think of!!

 My guides are pretty cool too! Looking for places to camp, fish or hike with kids? How about where kids eat for free or cheap? I just finished Zoo's, Petting Zoo's and Dog Parks Guide so check that out. To hot out? Look for the  best indoor play places, I have 16 listed! 

What about the best parks? I have over 180 parks in the park guide! 

Looking for Spay or Splash Pads? Got those too! There are even the best drop in art studios as well!

Since July is National Ice Cream Month I even have a Guide on where the best Sweet Treats and Cool Eats are! 

 There is never a dull moment if you have Macaroni Kid!
