The last week in April....can you believe it!? The calendar says spring but it feels to me as though we skipped over spring and jumped straight into summer. It certainly is awesome for visiting our beautiful beaches, though, right! MacDad, MiniMac, and our new canine companion headed over to the beach last weekend and when they got home Mini said she had a blast! So happy something as simple (and FREE) as a day at the beach can cause so much joy. Just another reason to love living on the Treasure Coast!

In this week's issue you'll learn about the summer programs at Jonathan Dickinson State Park and the Family Fun Fridays at Sailfish Splash Waterpark. We'll also tell you how you and your kids and help "make your mark on Hunger with GenerationOn."

Thank you to everyone who entered our two giveaways. We are pleased to announce the winners this week!
Please join us in congratulating:

  • Wendi N., winner of the family four pack of tickets to the exciting Our Kids World Family Fun Fest at the South Florida Fairgrounds this weekend, and
  • Laureta C., winner of the family four pack of tickets to see Dinosaur Train Live: Buddy's Big Adventure at the Kravis Center on May 9th.
We hope you and your families have a blast at these events! 

Love our giveaways? There's more...Mother's Day is just around the corner and we're pleased to announce we've got another giveaway starting this week that is just for moms! Make sure you read through to see what we lined up for one lucky mom to win this year! 

Our Summer Camp Spotlight this week focuses on Kids Need More Art and their awesome Summer Art Series. The camp will be offered from June 8th to August 21st at their studio in Stuart and will feature a new theme every week.
