Football, Festivals and Fall Fun!

---

---

It’s finally here – the official start of The University of Texas football season!  I am more than ready to cheer on my Longhorns and participate in some fun Fall activities!

Fall activities is what this issue is all about.  Our community organizations are planning some fantastic events and activities in the coming months, and to help you “save the date,” we have put together a Community Event Calendar on page 22.  There’s something for everyone – golf tournaments, festivals, galas – even a ginormous pumpkin patch perfect for those fall photos!

Fall also means school is back, and to help you and your students get back in the swing of things, we share 5 Savvy Tips for Back to School.  Speaking of school, this month Pete gives us all some homework in Fort Bend Strong.  Be sure to take a look at his assignment on page 30.

Here’s another fun assignment for you:  Be sure to go to www.FortBendFocus.com and vote for your Focus Favs this month!  Whether it’s your favorite burger joint, auto repair shop or even your favorite libation, give our local businesses some love and vote for them thru September 22nd.  The winners of your Focus Favs will appear in our December issue.

Enjoy all that Fall has to offer, and I hope to see you out and about in Fort Bend!

Stay focused,
