Deb’s Dialog
Summer has almost come to
a close with the signaling of
school sessions starting in mid-
August. I do hope that you
were able to enjoy the summer
with family and friends or just
had some down time to get
some much needed R&R.
This month is the Historic Home
DEBORAH
LUDLOW STEVENS
Front Festival. You can find the history of this event
on pages 16 & 17. Wonderful local event if you’ve
never been. Fun for the whole family.
Cheers,
Deborah
Wow. My inbox was
exploding with submissions
of pet photos this past
month! This, by far, is
our most popular photo
contest and a few of you
got really creative this
year too! Congratulations
to our winner, Sullivan who
JULIA SMITH
has his Hawaiian shirt on! His owner will receive
a gift certificate to a local restaurant.
Also, while we are talking about pets, we
thought we would feature an editorial about Pet
Adoptions in the area and where you might find
your next furry friend. There are many places in
Contra Costa County to adopt a pet in need
of a forever home. Please see pgs. 24 & 25 for
more info.
