As September comes to a close, it feels like summer is finally fading away. The mornings are cooler, and the leaves are starting to turn shades of red, orange, and yellow. 

School is back in full swing, and we’re getting into the routine of classes, homework, and after-school activities. Even though it’s getting darker earlier, there’s still a little bit of that summer energy left, with fall sports, fairs, and the excitement of Halloween just around the corner.

Have a look at some local events coming up!
