Editor’s Note November, a month of Gratitude and falling leaves of color. I am looking forward to those cooler nights walking through the WG, enjoying the fall colors and the new store displays while people watching. We have recovered well from the onslaught of nature of the past few months and are ready to get back to WG normalcy! cee castillo [email protected] Publisher / Editor-in-Chief Editor Brett Dault [email protected] Contributors Audrey Costa Michelle L.

Colonial Drive, Suite 160 Winter Garden, FL 34787 407.966.3446 MusicFest will be filling Downtown with the glorious sounds of local bands and all around the WG folks start preparing for the holiday season. I have said this before and I will say it again, as it is worth revisiting… “Thanksgiving is a Holiday. It is a day when we celebrate the grace in our lives, the people we love and the abundance or at the very least, the hope for abundance. Abundance not only in the sense of finances, but love, friendships and happiness.” I am so grateful for each oy you, our amazing WG friends and neighbors! Please be safe during the mad rush to Black Friday and remember, Thanksgiving is not Black Friday’s Eve. Enjoy your family and football to the fullest and, again, with all my heart, THANK YOU! Have a fantastic Thanksgiving!
