IN Greensburg Salem Winter 2018 | Page 6

FROM THE PUBLISHER Welcome to the winter issue of IN Greensburg Salem. Now that my wife Lisa and I are almost empty nesters, our two Morkies, Barry and Charlie, and our Shih Tzu, Marley, get even more love and attention—and we enjoy spoiling them a bit. Last year Americans spent more than $6 billion on grooming and boarding for their pets. Today, our four-legged kids enjoy spa-type services that many humans don’t experience. Be sure to read “From Scruffy to Fluffy,” listing many local groomers that will pamper your pet with facials, butter balms, pedicures, massages and more. With the holidays fast approaching, don’t miss our annual Holiday and Winter Events Guide filled with holiday cheer for the entire family. From festive lighting ceremonies and concerts to Christmas parades and Santa sightings, there’s no shortage of things to do and see this season! As 2018 comes to a close, we’d like to thank our school district and township partners for their continued support. We also want to thank each of our advertisers, many of whom have been with us from the start. Finally, a special thanks to you, our readers, who are the focus and inspiration for the hundreds of community stories we publish each year. The staff at IN Community Magazines wishes you and your family a fun‑filled holiday season and happy, healthy New Year!
