from the publisher The weather has taken an upward turn in temperature the last couple weeks and it seems the cooler weather of July has simply disappeared. I’m sure we’ll get our share of low temperatures this fall but right now it’s making for some warm football games. It’s funny how the seasons make their own mind as the months progress. Seems like change is the only thing you can count on.

I’ve always heard the saying, “They grow up so fast.” And when I look at my three little ones it doesn’t take any time at all to realize that time is moving quickly. They are getting bigger and there’s nothing I can do to stop it. I’ve always told my wife that I enjoy seeing our kids growing up. But as our youngest just turned one I think I’d give anything to freeze time just to enjoy this stage of life to its fullest. But it’s moving on. Whether I’m ready or not the seasons are changing. And I’m going to make the best of it whatever the weather. This issue of Owensboro Parent is full of ways to enjoy the upcoming fall weather. We’re breaking down all the fun in and around Owensboro as we hope you get a chance to head out to one of the local family farms to enjoy the fall festivals like Reid’s Apple Festival and Trunnell’s Octoberfest.

Speaking of change, you may have noticed that this issue includes two months: September & October. We will be publishing a bimonthly Owensboro Parent magazine, followed next month with a bimonthly Owensboro Living magazine. We’re excited about the launch of Owensboro Living and we hope that you enjoy it as much as you enjoy this magazine. After all, I can’t put in words how much you mean to us. We could not produce these local magazines without loyal readers and a great group of advertisers.
