Welcome to the September issue of Forsyth Family!

As we transition from the heat of summer to the crisp air of fall, I’m thrilled to introduce this month’s issue, which captures the spirit of the season in so many ways.

Our cover this month features a true Winston-Salem treasure: Dewey’s Bakery! For generations, Dewey’s has been a go-to destination for sweet treats, from their iconic pink lemonade cake to their decadent Devonshire cake, not to mention their wide variety of ice cream flavors. Did you know that Dewey’s Bakery has been around for over 90 years? Check out their story and discover more about what makes this bakery a local favorite!

As we gear up for fall, mark your calendars—the first day of fall is September 22nd! Our talented writer, Suzy, has put together a “Fall Bucket List” that’s packed with must-do activities for the whole family. From visiting the Carolina Classic Fair to exploring a pumpkin patch and taking a scenic drive to the mountains to see the leaves change color, this list is your guide to making the most of the season.

Speaking of seasonal fun, have you joined the pickleball craze? It’s the fastest-growing sport in America, and it’s taking our community by storm! The Lewisville-Clemmons Chamber of Commerce is hosting an exciting Pickleball tournament on September 21st at Forsyth Country Day School, and we’re thrilled to be one of the sponsors. Whether you’re a seasoned player or just curious about the game, this free event is open to the public, so come out and join us for a day of fun!

But that’s not all—we have another fantastic event just around the corner that I can’t wait to share with you! Our sister magazine, Forsyth Woman, is hosting a boutique crawl on Saturday, October 5th. Formerly known as Tour de Boutique, this revamped event promises to be even better than before. For just $10, your registration includes access to our exclusive pre-game party (happening at our presenting sponsor, Hawthorne OBGYN’s office from 9-10:30 am), loads of giveaways, special discounts, refreshments at each stop, and a chance to win our GRAND prize.

Here’s to a September filled with joyful moments, cherished traditions, and the company of those you love most. I hope you enjoy this issue as much as we’ve enjoyed putting it together!

All my best,

Brooke
