I was given the Macon, Clay, Graham & Cherokee counties to cover for Macaroni Kid Franklin. I have a general idea of what falls into those counties, but then I thought I would take a closer look. I want to make sure my Events Calendar is all inclusive of each location. I would like to hear from readers about: what type of articles you would like to read, events you would like to share (school, church, community, etc...). I will also work with businesses to advertise as well as have some great contests. Visit my page at www.FranklinNC.MacaroniKid.com to view already published articles and events coming up. If you see what you like and are interested in receiving this information on a weekly basis in your inbox then visit www.FranklinNC.MacaroniKid.com/Subscribe. You can email me at KarenR@MacaroniKid.com.
