Publisher's Column - September 12, 2019

By Lindsay Keller, Publisher of Macaroni Kid Skokie, Niles, Park Ridge, and Far Northwest Chicago September 12, 2019

It feels like Christmas over here. There was shopping from lists, changing schedules and, of course, exhaustion. I never noticed how much back to school parallels the holiday season until this year. But the best part about it feeling like Christmas is all of the giveaways going on this month! I can hardly believe how many special events are going on in the first month or two of school. 

  1. British Swim School is giving away a month of free swim lessons and the contest runs through September 30, 2019. Plus, when you sign up for 12 weeks of swim lessons and mention Macaroni Kid, you get the first 6 weeks for only $99 (a $97 savings).
  2. Congratulations to Amy K of Chicago who won a family 4-pack of passes to Minefaire, September 21-22 at the Schaumburg Convention Center! Still want to go? Use discount code MACKID35 for a 35% discount per ticket.
  3. Monster Jam is coming to Allstate Arena and I have a family 4-pack of tickets for the Friday, September 27, 7 pm competition. Enter by September 22, 2019 for your chance to win!
  4. Keep your eyes open because Peppa Pig Live! is coming to The Chicago Theatre in October and I have show tickets to giveaway soon.

Happy Back to School season and Merry Christmas!
