Greetings Macaroni Families,

We have another jammed packed issue for you this week! October is such a great time for families with all the festivals and other activities that it results in a larger than normal weekly newsletter. In an effort to make this week's issue more manageable, we've put some recurring articles plus the recurring features, including the Kids Eat Free and Macaroni Pets of the Week, after the calendar listings. Please remember to scroll down to see these articles. 

In this week's edition you'll read about Exciting October Events at the Hobe Sound Nature Center and we'll provide updated information for the Stuart Air Show. The Deadline is approaching for discounted tickets to the 68th Annual Indiantown Rodeo so you'll want to get your tickets before 10/15 deadline. The United Way of Martin County is calling for nominations of outstanding kids in grades 7, 8, and 12 for their annual CHARACTER COUNTS Youth Character Awards and the Palm City Fall Festival is just around the corner! And finally, we'll give you some Tricks for Delicious Halloween Treats.

We'll be out at the Oktoberfest festival at the Port Saint Lucie Civic Center all weekend with some cute crafts for the kiddos. If you're in the area please come say hi. 

Have a great weekend and a wonderful week ahead. 

Peace, Love, & Macaroni

REMINDERS 

We have an abundance of kid and family events in our community - too many to list in the newsletter and on the website - so the listings you see in the calendar sections are just a small sampling of the week's activities. To see all the events on a given day, you have to go to that date on our calendar. Use the daily links above to quickly navigate to a specific date covered by this week's edition. View the month at a glance by either CLICKING HERE or via the EVENT CALENDAR link in the menu bar atop each page of our site. 

We do our very best to bring you the most up-to-date community calendar; however, despite our best efforts, event and venue information is subject to change without notice and we therefore cannot and do not warrant it. We always recommend calling ahead to confirm availability before driving out to a "drop-in" or "just show up" event just to play it safe. There's nothing worse than getting the kiddos all excited for a fun activity only to find it's been rescheduled or canceled upon your arrival.

If you find yourself venturing south to Palm Beach Gardens, and West Palm Beach or north to Port Saint Lucie and Vero Beach, be sure to check out and subscribe to the Macaroni Kid eNewsletter in the respective community so that you'll know what's going on in and around those areas before your next visit. Oh, and make sure you let them know Macaroni Kid Stuart sent you!
