Winter Garden Magazine October 2018 | Page 3

Editor’s Note October, the not-so-scary month, brings the WG such warmth every year. The cooler evenings fill with events and happenings that bring our community together. We start with a Golden Evening with Rosallie at Night, an event to support Childhood Cancer, and we end with the City’s Halloweenfest, which brings more and more ghouls, goblins, superheroes and some often indescribable costumes to our downtown, and it is amazing to see so many different facets of our community coming together for something as simple as a street costume party. cee castillo [email protected] Publisher / Editor-in-Chief Editor Brett Dault [email protected] Contributors Audrey Costa michelle L. curtis Brett Dault Allison Couture Otero Tracy pretorius Gabriella West Marion E. Wildey Layout & Graphic Design taylor mobley Samantha Rhodes In this issue you will find ways to relax with your five senses or get some scares in & around the WG. From the frights and frolic at Panic in Plant Street to the Howey Mansion, we take you on a literary excursion that makes stops as far away as a Roman Holiday...and that is what we bring to you. A mini vacay, the reading way! Please take a moment to talk Pink! Ask the women in your life about their mammogram... don’t be afraid to ask about breast health.
