September has slipped away as quick as a wink and we are now in the fall season. The Derby is in full swing and automobile traffic is definitely slower during the week as we approach the last full week of the “shoulder season.”

Next Thursday is the first day of the fall season and we are thankful for all of our summer memories as September is slipping away as quick as you can say Jack Frost! We know he is waiting just around the corner but it doesn’t seem possible with the summer weather we are still enjoying. Folks are busy harvesting the last of their vegetables from their gardens, and what few berries that were available for canning, and settling into their fall routine as the sun is now setting before 7 p.m. Jane Konicki reminds you it is National Coffee Day on Sept. 29.

Friday is the start of the long holiday weekend, Labor Day is on Monday and the end of the high summer season. All municipal buildings and post offices will be closed. All good things must come to an end. School starts on Tuesday.
