In This Issue - October 2023 Cuyahoga

Happy autumn to everyone!

The October 2023 Cuyahoga issue is filled with lots of great fall- and Halloween-themed events for the entire family. From the Pumpkins & Piranhas event at the Greater Cleveland Aquarium to the Halloween Drive-thru at Lake Metroparks Farmpark, there are a scary amount of activities and events to enjoy.

Have you ever noticed all the noise that we experience in an average day? Cars, trucks, planes, trains, construction, lawn mowers... it is a sensory overload! Research has shown that noise pollution can negatively affect our bodies and minds. Learn how connecting with nature can help!

Need a laugh or at least a grin? This issue features two humor essays that we hope will bring a smile to your face.

Plus, if you are thinking about a private school for your child(ren), this issue presents tips on how to choose the right school for your family, along with profiles of 14 schools in northeast Ohio.

Thank you for reading. A link to a PDF copy of our print edition appears below and features all the messages from our advertising partners. Lots of great info, products and services to help enrich your family's lives.

Have a great October!

Sincerely,
Dan & Kim Miller, Publishers
