FROM THE CEO
Welcome to the fall issue of IN Mars magazine. As summer heat gives way to fall, the beautiful scenery and cool autumn breezes are the perfect backdrop to some of the best community events of the year— fall festivals and community days! From pumpkin patches, corn mazes and hayrides to Oktoberfests, apple picking and much more, the season is packed with family fun. Check out our“ Fall Festival Fever” listings for dozens of festive events right in your own backyard.
And don’ t forget to plan a trip to one of the many spectacularly spooky attractions in our area— there’ s nothing like a good haunted house to start the Halloween season.
For those of you with one or more fur babies, don’ t miss“ Happy Tails” for a list of wonderful pet shops that carry everything from food, toys and clothing to grooming supplies, health and wellness products, pet beds and more!
And if you want to give your canines and kitties a little extra love, check out the local pet bakeries that offer tasty treats baked locally in-house with certified organic ingredients. You’ ll find dairy-free ice cream scoops, grain-free biscuits, and cakes made with all-natural ingredients that will keep bellies happy and tails wagging.
