This Week's Macaroni Kid - April 14 - 21, 2017

Happy Easter (and Passover - a little late)!

It's a BUSY weekend in Cobb County. Not only is the weekend packed with Easter activities, but the Atlanta Braves open their season at SunTrust Park Friday night against the Padres. That series wraps up Sunday (Kids Run the Bases!), and then the Nationals come to town for games Monday - Thursday.

Between the recent I-85 collapse, and the new traffic issues on I-75, this might be a good time to download the Braves schedule onto your phone. If you commute in town, or just live anywhere near the stadium, make sure you know when the games are!

Of course for many baseball fans, this is an exciting weekend. Cobb County has put some valuable information on their website with regards to Opening Day, parking in general, The Battery and more. CLICK HERE for the details. You may also want to visit www.cobbgameday.com (thanks Cobb Chamber of Commerce), for navigation and traffic tips and area events schedules too. You can read more about SunTrust Park on the Braves website HERE. Check out our article in this edition as well about the new Yard House restaurant now open in The Battery (parking is free in the Red Deck for up to 4 hours on non-game days).

This Saturday, you can find SVM Macaroni Kid at the Northeast Cobb Community Egg Drop at Sprayberry High School. The event is from 10am to 5pm, and even features a helicopter drop in the afternoon. Read all about the event in our article in this edition. Stop by our booth and spin our prize wheel - we've got all kinds of goodies for visitors! Our full list of egg hunts is HERE - don't miss out.

Had your fill of egg hunts? The Georgia Renaissance Festival opens this weekend in Fairburn. If you don't want to travel that far, Sandy Springs Artsapalooza is happening as well. There are TONS of other events, so visit the website if you want to see EVERYTHING that's going on, and also make sure to take a look at our PLAN AHEAD article.

This week we also have an awesome giveaway for any moms who REALLY needs a night out. The IMomSoHard Live show isn't until July, but you can get excited about it now - and start following imomsohard on Facebook now. Their videos will have you laughing out loud for sure!
