Weekly Publisher Note, Sep. 9-15, 2021

By Stephanie Brinkley September 9, 2021

Hello Families!

When do you start decorating for Halloween? We got our decorations out yesterday and I found all kinds of goodies I had forgotten about. I love to shop the after-holiday sales. Last year, I found Halloween-themed books for $0.60-$0.80 each, and I bought about 20 of them. I also found some great Halloween costumes on sale for just over $1 each. I bought the next size up, hoping my son could fit them this year, and they are just right! Now if I could just get this weather to cool down a little bit, it would really feel like fall is on the way. There are so many fun activities and events to do this time of year in West Wichita. I'd love to hear about some of your favorite things to do.

We are adding more and more family fun to our Calendar of Events. If you know of an event we should add, please complete our Submit an Event form. It's completely free to add events to our calendar. We want to be THE resource for West Wichita families to find their fun.

NICE TO MEET YOU!

Hi, I'm Stephanie! Two years ago I gave birth to my miracle baby and made the choice to leave my 9-year teaching career with the Wichita Public Schools to stay home with him. Although I love being at home with him, I still have a desire to serve the kids and families of Wichita, and when I found out about Macaroni Kid, it seemed like the perfect way to stay connected to the community I love.

I grew up in Wichita, and I am thrilled to have this opportunity to highlight all the positive things Wichita has to offer families. We truly have so many wonderful things going on here.

I look forward to partnering with local families, businesses and organizations to build an inclusive, dynamic and diverse calendar of events that meets the needs and interests of ALL of our families.

SAY HELLO

My goal is to make this an interactive community, and I want to get to know each of you. I'd love to hear from you. You can contact me at mackidwestwichita@macaronikid.com with ideas, event listings, and suggestions. Or just say hi! 






About Macaroni Kid

Macaroni Kid West Wichita is part of a national organization that includes local publishers in nearly 500 towns across the United States and Canada. 

In 2020, Macaroni Kid merged forces with CertifiKid, a nationally recognized website that offers discounts on kids' activities and family experiences. This merger means that down the road, you'll find not only the best local content, but also deals on family-friendly attractions, events, and experiences.

Thanks for your support and for allowing me to help you find your family fun in West Wichita!

Peace, love, and macaroni,
