This Week's Helping of Macaroni (East Tucson)

Entertaining, Educating and Exhausting your Kids in Tucson!

By Kindle Rising, Publisher, East Tucson Macaroni Kid March 26, 2015
What IS East Tucson Macaroni Kid, you ask?  Mainly, it's a FREE weekly e-newsletter (subscribe HERE) and website that provides an invaluable resource to Tucson parents.  Each week we tell you what's happening in Tucson to help you entertain, educate and exhaust your kids!  We highlight family friendly events, activities and local businesses so that YOU are in the know about all things kid/family in East/Central Tucson.

What else is East Tucson Macaroni Kid?  It's a labor of love by one Tucson mom (read more about me HERE). Each week I scour the internet, read dozens of press releases, jot down every flyer I see, e-mail back and forth with local business owners, and try to compile the best family activities, giveaways and fun for YOU! I appreciate your help and feedback, so if you know of an event I've missed, submit it HERE. If you want last minute information or FLASH giveaways, follow East Tucson Macaroni Kid on facebook or Twitter.  And if you ever have questions or comments about East Tucson Macaroni Kid, please feel free to e-mail me at kindler@macaronikid.com.
