By Chelsea Crump, Publisher May 22, 2020


Hello Mac Kid Family! 

Things have been VERY different and difficult for most of us during the pandemic. I am SO thankful that you have stuck things out with Macaroni Kid Jeffersonville - Clarksville - New Albany through such unprecedented times! I have been trying to keep our Mac Kid Calendar updated with virtual events - and will hopefully be able to list in-person events soon too! So keep those eyes peeled!

For now, I have gathered information from the community regarding library services, farmers markets, aquatic centers, summer programs, and more. See below for the latest updates and feel free to reach out to me at chelseac@macaronikid.com if you have more information to share. 

Stay healthy. Stay safe.
