Brooke’s Notes; October 2024

Okay – how ADORABLE is our cover this month?! I may be a little biased, but I think we’ve got some of the cutest kiddos and strongest moms in town gracing the front of the magazine. This month’s cover feature is especially close to my heart because it’s all about Washington Park CrossFit – the gym I co-own and helped build from the ground up! We’re celebrating two incredible years this month, and what a wild ride it has been! Let me tell you – running a gym is so different from running a magazine, but I absolutely love both. I feel incredibly fortunate to pour my energy into two passions that light me up every day. Want to learn more about Washington Park CrossFit? Click HERE read the full story!

October is packed with amazing events happening all around our community! Whether you’re a fan of fall festivals, spooky thrills or local shopping adventures, there’s something for everyone:

Lewisville Laser & Aesthetics Sweet Sixteen Celebration: October 14th–18th
Kaleideum’s Ghoul Times: October 27th
Carolina Classic Fair: October 4th–13th
Forsyth Woman Magazine’s Boutique Crawl: October 5th
Girls’ Night Out: Spooky Season Vibes: October 30th at Robert Hall

And, that’s just the start! With so much going on, you won’t want to miss a thing this month!

On top of all the fun events, October is also our Fall Home Issue! There’s something magical about making your home feel cozy and welcoming, especially as the cooler weather rolls in. The saying “there’s no place like home” rings truer than ever this time of year. Whether you’re thinking about upgrading your space or simply sprucing it up for the season, we have some fantastic local businesses that can help. From custom cabinetry to flooring and furniture, they’ll make your home the place you want to be:

Catie Does Cabinets
Icon Custom Builders
Weeks Hardwood Flooring
Casual Furniture World
CoolVu
Weed Man & Carolina Irrigation
Johnson Granite

Looking ahead, mark your calendars for our Kids’ Morning Out event at Salem Gymnastics & Swim coming up in November! And, don’t forget to subscribe to our newsletter at forsythfamilymagazine.com, so you never miss any event announcements.

Wishing you an October filled with all things fall and just the right touch of spooky.

All my best,
