Last Saturday was Macaroni Kid Act of Kindness Day nationwide.  We asked for the children of our community to deliver notes of kindness to our first responders in the area and post a picture of their delivery on our facebook page.  In the spirit of kindness,  we were  choosing one person from the pictures submitted (via random.org) to receive two 4-packs of tickets to the Michigan Renaissance Festival (one for your family, and one to give away).  Unfortunately, no one entered to win the tickets, so we are going to try again this weekend.  Hurry, you don't have much time!  Winner will have 24 hours after notification to email me at jenniferd@macaronikid.com to claim their prize and must be able to pick up tickets in Macomb Twp by Wednesday, September 28th.  All entrants must be Macomb Macaroni Kid subscribers in order to win the tickets.  Not a subscriber?  Sign up here for free!
