By Tracie Ysaguire, Publisher for Macaroni KID New Iberia September 6, 2024

Hello Macaroni KID Families! Thank you for staying connected with us again this week. We've got a packed newsletter with family fun events and info for you so let's get to it!

We're counting down the days until fall as we said Hello September with the Labor Day holiday this week. But what other holidays, causes, and events can we recognize with our families this month? Get all the scoop on our monthly article, to find out about the 11 holidays, events, and causes not to miss this month

This Sunday is Grandparent's Day and we have two great resources for you to get some inspiration to celebrate. We've got a few fun craft ideas and a super cute printable for families to let grandma and grandpa just how much they mean. We hope you like them! 

Health and wellness are things that I truly love to help promote to our Macaroni KID families whether it be events, organizations, or other parenting resources in the communities we serve from New Iberia to Morgan City. This week we partnered with a new sponsor, Community Wellness, who is making plans to bridge the wellness gap in Vermilion Parish. Find out about this new organization and their volleyball fundraiser happening this weekend in Erath. The day will be filled with plenty of family fun for local families to enjoy. 

If you are looking for an easy day trip that includes free parking and admission, then I have a great recommendation for you this weekend. The Craftin Cajuns Indoor Craft Show is happening this weekend at the Barry P. Bonvillain Civic Center in Houma. Make it a family day or make plans for a day with your best girlfriends for some shopping. 

Now, on to more of our weekly recommendations for your free or low-cost family fun this week from New Iberia to Morgan City:
