Welcome to Asheville Macaroni Kid
Enter to Win: New contest for the PBR event on June 1 and 2. Drawing will take place on Monday, May 21. We are still running the contest for the Nunsense drama at the Flat Rock Playhouse downtown Hendersonville location. Drawing will be tomorrow night, (that’s Friday, May 18th) at 9:30pm. Check it out...there will be two winners...each for two tickets! Great date night idea.
Tuesday, May 22, is the day that the Wright Brothers patented the airplane...so CELEBRATE with your kids with a paper-airplane day. Create and decorate paper-airplanes and then come up with some categories for a competition. Who can fly their airplane the farthest? The straightest? The highest? Can you fly it through a hula hoop? Can you hit the bulls eye? You get the idea. Have fun! Celebrate!

While the majority of the listings are places where kids eat free some of the restaurants charge a small amount – so they are not actually “free” but a very good deal nonetheless.
You will also find that some of the restaurants where kids eat free have certain restrictions. I can’t stress enough to please call the restaurant location you plan on attending to get your free kids meal before you pack ...
