About The Publisher: Shelby Phelan

Welcome to Macaroni Kid Roanoke!  We are celebrating 16 years of being the premier resource for Family Fun in Roanoke.  On our site, you'll find family friendly events, articles and guides for kids and families in the Roanoke area.

Shelby is a Roanoke area native with 3 kids aged 14, 12, and 8 who are very active in a wide variety of things.  From sports, to dance, to biking and hiking, you can always count on her family to be out and about on an adventure around the area.  

Her passion truly is creating memories for her family by participating in local activities and events or taking them on a fun getaway.   She is excited to be able to share that passion as publisher of Macaroni Kid Roanoke and help other families find their fun and make their own memories together.
