Welcome to the fall issue of IN Mt . Lebanon magazine .

The end of summer doesn ’ t mean the end of outdoor family fun . From hayrides to spooky attractions , be sure to take advantage of the wide variety of fall festivals and activities in your community . There are dozens of fall-tastic events to choose from in this issue .

If you ’ re a dog lover , be sure to check out our listing of wag-worthy playgrounds . It ’ s great exercise for your pet and gives him or her a chance to socialize with other furry friends . Dog parks are also great for us — to meet up with neighbors and friends as well as get to know other owners and their dogs .

Also , don ’ t miss our special section titled , “ The Changing Face of Education .” The future looks bright for our students — and not just from the glow of their smartphones . As teachers work to incorporate new methods for teaching , students are adapting to new methods of learning .

Wishing you a fabulous fall !
