January 22, 2015
Macaroni Kid Snoqualmie Valley - Issaquah is once again on a quest to find the places families love in our community: your favorite businesses, service providers, places to play and more!


Like the children’s daisy game “She loves me, She loves me not,” this award asks parents to PICK the best of the best. Macaroni Kid's Gold Daisy Awards recognize the most beloved local businesses for kids and families.
 
Who do parents turn to when they want to find the best places to go or the best doctors or the best story times? Other parents! We want YOU to nominate the businesses that your kids and your family love in Issaquah, Sammamish, Snoqualmie, North Bend, Fall City and Preston.  

How Do You Get Started?
From now through February 8, 2015 at 8:00 pm, simply nominate your favorite businesses! Nominate as many or as few businesses as you would like. This is your chance to shout out to all of those awesome, local businesses you go to all the time and that other parents might not know about.  Only one submission per email address please; you must be a subscriber to the newsletter to nominate. You can subscribe here.
