Don't Forget To Look, Touch & Check!
Happy Fall!!! Maybe it doesn't feel like fall yet, but October is here. For me, being from Connecticut, September/October is fall. I am still in that mindset, even though it is 90 degrees outside. I am sure that I will never be a "true" Floridian in that respect.
This month is packed with events and editorial. It's Breast Cancer Awareness month. We talk about how women (and men) reach an understanding of the disease and how to navigate the next steps to take after a diagnosis. Cancer doesn't discriminate based on gender, age or nationality, nor are our pets immune to this potentially disease either.
On the lighter side, The All-Rise Foundation Coalition for the Homeless is helping the community along with the Caregivers Helping Hand donating to expecting mothers to be. Both are wonderful non-profits that deserve some attention for their work.
Need some advice when it comes to dealing with FEMA? Read this important article in our Money Talk section.
We discovered a new Italian restaurant in Dade City! Read all about Olio's inside and pay them a visit for true Italian fare!
As usual, there is more. From facts about water filters to health to cars. Inside you will find lots of events that are beginning this month too! Fun things to do with or without kids. There is the upcoming Car Show, Pep Rally, Halloween Howl and Harvest Festival in Zephyrhills. Dade City begins their fall activities this month right through December, read all about it inside. Just get out and enjoy yourself, and stop to smell the roses!
FYI - If you are into plants like I am, the 7th Annual Gardening 365 Festival & Plant Sale by Pasco County Master Gardener Volunteers will be held on October 7th. The event has been moved to Wesley Chapel District Park 7727 Boyette Rd, Wesley Chapel, FL 33545.
In addition, the USF Botanical Gardens, Tampa will be having their annual Fall Plant Sale (almost 100 plant vendors) on Oct. 14th & 15th. I'll be there selling Begonias. Come by and say hello! Happy Fall!!!!!
