About The Publisher: Pamela O'Brien

I am your local Southen Dutchess Macaroni Kid Publisher, Pamela O’Brien covering the bottom half of Dutchess County, NY including Beacon, Fishkill, East Fishkill (Hopewell Junction, Stormville, Wiccopee, Hillside Lake), Wappingers Falls including Wappinger and Chelsea, Beekman and Poughquag, Pawling and Holmes!

Born and raised in Southern Dutchess (Stormville —> Fishkill) I have lived here (except my college years near Boston, MA) for 40 years and am now raising my great, big, wonderful, blended family here! I have a toddler, pre-teen, and teen plus two bonus teen step-daughters. We have 3 crazy cats, 1 rambunctious lab/pit/poodle rescue pup, an axolotl, occasionally some carnival goldfish and probably a dozen ants or so at any given time.

In addition to Macaroni Kid, I work full-time in marketing and non-profit management but I am no stranger to local events, places to go, and things to do! After pivitong from an art background, I launched my marketing career more than 10 years ago in publishing doing exactly this – places to go and things to do for family! 

I am thrilled to bring my career full circle and be BACK to what I love to do as the local “know it all” on making memories for my family and yours! Please reach out to Pamelao@macaronikid.com. I look forward to seeing you out and about soon in Southern Dutchess!
