IN Shaler Fall 2016 | Page 8

FROM THE PUBLISHER CEO & PUBLISHER Wayne Dollard EDITORIAL DIRECTOR Julie Talerico / [email protected] Welcome to the fall issue of IN Shaler 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 township and 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!
