Winter Garden Magazine June 2017 | Page 3

Editor’s Note June. Fun in the sun. First day of Summer. Frolic and Run. Warm and balmy nights of WG greatness are coming our way. Kids are out of school. The grads are glad and the June brides are abundant. What are your plans for this glorious month? Will you be out and about the WG in your summer dress or will you be day-tripping Florida’s secret hideaways? From farms to fathers, weddings to wonder – we have great bits of wisdom in this issue. cee castillo [email protected] Publisher / Editor-in-Chief Editor Brett Dault [email protected] We offer a heartfelt remembrance to June 12, 2016. Any humble attempt to express our still pungent pain will be an understatement. Our community has become stronger from this, but that does not mean we have forgotten… We can only show our Love! #hugsnothate Get out there. Play! Take the kids to the WG Splash Pad. Remember June is just the beginning of the Memories of the Summer of ’17! Contributors Brett Dault Allison Couture Otero Samantha Rhodes Stephen Scarborough Marion E.
