I recently asked the community of Macaroni Publishers, if there was a way to see our events by category. Boom - Someone pointed out that there is a Category Drop down on the calendar. HA! - Total brain fart. I knew I was labeling events under different categories on the back-end, but that drop-down feature blew right by me. Thus, it dawned on me that you could be missing stuff too.
Here is a list of tips for maximizing the value of Macaroni KID.
1. If you haven't subscribed yet, subscribe to receive free, weekly, e-newsletters so you don't miss anything. If you are interested in resources and events in the city, you might want to subscribe to our other Macaroni KID edition: Macaroni KID Chicago Northside.
