I love Massachusetts! I work here in Worcester County, I shop locally, and I am always on the outlook for fun new things to do. If you live in Worcester, or love to visit Shrewsbury, then you are going to want to get on my email list so I can send you the best places to visit for your kids to explore and have fun, the best deals in town (kids eat free or cheap and local discounts), and the hidden gems of the City of Worcester and Shrewsbury.
No seriously, get on the list! If you decide its not for you, just hit unsubscribe and it's no big deal! The email only comes once a week (Wednesdays) and it is full all the fun I can find for your AND a free Calendar of all the best events in town.
