IN West Allegheny Summer 2016 | Page 4

FROM THE PUBLISHER CEO & PUBLISHER Wayne Dollard EDITORIAL DIRECTOR Julie Talerico / [email protected] Welcome to the summer issue of IN West Allegheny magazine. Summer is around the corner and with it comes outdoor grilling and dinner on the patio. It also means outdoor shopping at your neighborhood farmers market. This season, be sure to support your local farmers and take advantage of summer’s vibrant organic bounty. Each week, outdoor markets offer the freshest fruits and vegetables along with a variety of homemade products. Check out our list of local farmers markets and farms—why not make it a fun family outing and pick your own strawberries! Summer is also a time for picnics in the park, community days, festivals, art shows, fairs, movies in the park, summer concert series and more! It’s one of the best times of the year for friends and neighbors to come together and enjoy the amazing communities in which we live. You can fill your calendar with family fun at little cost all summer long with our 2016 Summer Events Guide in this issue. Wishing you a safe and happy summer!
