Hello and welcome to our Fall issue where you will find our 2023 Photo Contest Winners! Catch the images on our four(!) covers and inside our pages to see lots of sunsets, mountains, cactuses, flowers, wildlife, agricultural fields, historic homes and artifacts and many more scenes that convey the beauty and diversity of our Pinal County landscape.

I always love seeing our area in new ways through the eyes of our talented readers who take photos.

The entries may well inspire you to explore new corners of our desert and make new discoveries about its land and people, especially after our superheated summer. We are thrilled to be able to be a part of that!

This issue has much more to offer, too, with features from regular contributors including Donna McBride, who notes the contributions to the juvenile justice system made by the Pinal County Community Advisory Board. Two share tips on keeping pets healthy: Tiffanie Grady-Gillespie writes about getting your dog (and yourself) on a good fitness regimen and Gigi McWhirter shares a meat-and-vegetable recipe that can be mixed into your dog’s store-bought diet.

You’ll find articles by Casa Grande Mayor Craig McFarland and Central Arizona College, and we also have a few stories with tips on making your home a bit more comfortable, including adding touches of “micro luxury” to rooms and the proper seasonal use of ceiling fans.

And don’t miss our ROX Interview with my good friend and ROX Vice President of Operations Bea Lueck, a longtime Maricopa resident who’s been with our parent company for more than a dozen years and launched this magazine for us, along with several other publications.

The community news of the Pinal County Press and local events of Pinal NOW! also are here as you learn more about our area and start to plan your autumnal festivities.

And who else can’t believe how fast the holiday season is coming up? We’ll have more news and ideas for you in our upcoming Holiday issue!
