TWO Weeks of Fun Events: Pig 'n Pepper Fest, 4-H Fair and More!

By Barbara Evangelista August 18, 2015
This week's newsletter is packed full of TWO weeks' of events and local activities, since I'll be off the grid next week. I've pre-scheduled lots of Back to School Tips on our Facebook page and will do my best to check in but it may be challenging, so please forgive me if I don't answer questions quickly!

Are you always scrambling in the morning to prepare school lunches? Me too. I'm trying to be a better planner (plus I know it will save money), so I prepared a couple of tools to help with school lunch planning: a monthly lunch planner and a list of lunch ideas. 

Check out our event calendar for fun events over the next two weeks:

See our guide to Water Play in Greater Lowell to find all the local splash pads (i.e., sprinkler parks), pools, lakes, and beaches! Want to play indoors in air-conditioned comfort? See our article on Local Deals & Discounts to purchase discounted passes for local indoor entertainment.  Top off a fun day with a delicious homemade ice cream at one of the many amazing local ice cream stands in Greater Lowell.

And, as always, we've listed tons of local events and activities for the upcoming week. We're always adding new events to our
event calendar so be sure to check our website often! Is your organization hosting a local event for kids or families? Send me the details and we'll get it on our event calendar.

Please "like" Lowell Macaroni Kid on Facebook to learn about local activities, special deals, and contests, follow us on Twitter for quick updates, and check out all of our past articles on Pinterest.  We also publish the neighboring Macaroni Kid newsletter covering Acton, Concord, Carlisle, Bedford, Boxborough, Maynard, Lexington and Lincoln!
