IN Plum Fall 2019 | Page 6

FROM THE PUBLISHER Welcome to the fall issue of IN Plum. Autumn brings a kaleidoscope of color to western Pennsylvania as well as some of the best community events of the year—fall festivals! It’s also time to start planning a trip to one of the many spectacularly spooky haunted houses in our area, such as Hundred Acres Manor in Bethel Park— there’s nothing like a good haunted house to start the Halloween season. Check out our “Fall Festival Fever” listings for dozens of fun family festivities right in your own backyard. As the kids head back to school and college, we hope you will take some time to read this issue packed with the latest township and school news as well as articles about the coolest people and places in your community. Finally, don’t miss our special section on trends in education, including the top 10 college majors that hold promising career paths post-graduation. Have a fabulous fall!
