FROM THE PUBLISHER
CEO & PUBLISHER Wayne Dollard
EDITORIAL DIRECTOR Julie Talerico / j . talerico @ icmags . com
Welcome to the fall issue of IN Hampton magazine .
As the summer ushers in fall , each season of life also brings change and new experiences . I ’ m realizing the house will be a little quieter this fall , as our middle son , Brenden , is headed off to college — and our youngest , Tyler , is starting eighth grade . It will be a change for all of us when we drop off Brenden , but we are excited for this new chapter in his life .
Autumn brings a kaleidoscope of color to western Pennsylvania as well as some of the best community events of the year — fall festivals ! Every October , my wife and I look forward to the fall festivities in our community to pick pumpkins and enjoy fresh apple cider , caramel corn , caramel apples and homemade pies .
Another fall family tradition is our annual trek to Hundred Acres Manor in Bethel Park or the ScareHouse in Etna . There ’ s nothing like a good haunted house to start the Halloween season .
We hope you will take some time to read this issue packed with the latest school information as well as articles about the people and places in your community . Be sure to check out our Fall Festival Guide with dozens of fun , family festivities right in your own backyard .
Have a fabulous fall !
