A MESSAGE FROM MEREDITH

It is hard to believe that we are already looking to fall again. As much as I love the changing of the leaves, the pumpkins, the cider, this year fall has a whole new meaning to me. At the end of October I will be celebrating my one year wedding anniversary! It feels like just yesterday I was putting on the finishing touches to the perfect day and now here we are, almost a year later. This reminds me of a quote by C.S. Lewis, “Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes, but when you look back everything is different?” It’s easy to get into our everyday routine and think that life is stagnant, but when we take the time to look back and reflect, that is when we see how far we’ve really come. Please make sure that you check out our very first Scavenger Hunt at South Central Park on Friday, September 20 and all of the other activities that we have planned for you this fall! I am looking forward to watching the leaves change with you, see you around! Meredith

th from 6-9 PM. This

event is sponsored by the North Ridgeville Lions Club and is appropriate for all ages. It’s a wooded ¼-mile trail that makes you feel like you are part of a horror movie set in the woods. The cost is $2 per person and non-perishable food items will be collected to help benefit Community Care.

FallFest at South Central Park on October 5th from 4-6 PM. This is a free

event where families will experience fun games, food vendors, face and pumpkin painting, balloon animals, pumpkin bowling, photo booth and hay rides (weather permitting).
