Are you like me, and you find out about events after the fact, especially in Hollister and San Benito County? Or, you learned about happenings to be several weeks before the date, only to forget when the day arrives?
Okay, then. Here's an online source for you to bookmark for kid and family friendly events and activities in our community:
Hollister Macaroni Kid
This Web site is also a free e-newsletter that suggests activities for families to do together. It is edited and published by local Valerie Silva, who has been at it since May 2010. Being a mom, she says her mission is "for families to engage in quality time together, whether it be outside
the home with events listed in the newsletter, or by enjoying crafts,
cooking and other projects that might be listed in that week's posting."
Valerie posts every week, usually on Thursday. She invites both organizations and individuals to post their events and activities on
Hollister Macaroni Kid. Businesses are also welcome to advertise at her site as well. Currently,
Hollister Macaroni Kid has over 5200 views per month. It is is also on Facebook and Twitter. You can contact Valerie at valeries at macaronikid dot com.

Disclosure: Valerie asked me if I would post something about Hollister Macaroni Kid. I was very glad to write about her Web site since I've used it as a source for some of of my past posts, which was way before she contacted me. So, to FCC and anyone else who cares, I did not receive any money, gifts, or threats to write this post.
