Weekly Publisher Note 🌻 August 21-27, 2024

By Jodi Lorence, Macaroni Kid Publisher August 21, 2024

Welcome Friends,

The time is here. The Minnesota State Fair begins tomorrow and runs through Labor Day. Along with the fair comes the beginning of school. Can you believe that we are at that time of the summer already? Time flies! Savor and make the days last before the weather gets cooler in Minnesota. 

Thanks for stopping by,

Jodi 🌻


"To say it was a beautiful day would not begin to explain it. 

It was that day when the end of summer intersects perfectly with the start of fall."
