🌞 Morning, Neighbors! The weather looks fantastic this week…no complaints here! The Eagles may have had an ugly first game, but a win is a win, and I’m thrilled football is back on the schedule. That said, I’m not quite ready for the pumpkins and Halloween décor just yet! There are plenty of great events coming up around Lower Merion in the weeks ahead, and I hope you’ll get a chance to enjoy at least one.
Do you have an upcoming event to share with us? Want your business in the spotlight? Please send an email here with details: [email protected]
Have a wonderful day ☀️ - Carolyn
