HELLO CHAMBERSBURG NEIGHBORS! HAPPY SEPTEMBER! 🍁🍂
“Goodbye summer—hello sweater weather, pumpkin everything, and the feeling that fall is finally finding its way home.” — Anonymous
As summer begins to loosen its grip—trading peak heat for cool mornings and that golden “back-to-rhythm” feeling—it’s a great time to welcome a new issue. The days may be getting shorter, but the excitement is definitely still growing, and that’s exactly what you’ll find in this month’s Chambersburg Neighbors.
Our cover story sets the tone beautifully, featuring Nicole Scott and Travis Shoop, a recently married couple who brings both warmth and community spirit to everything they do.
As the season shifts, it’s also a perfect reminder that small changes can make a big difference—especially at home. That’s why we’re excited to include an Expert Contributor article from Dick's Cabinetry & Flooring “Floor-to-Ceiling Cabinets: Maximizing Storage.” It’s the kind of practical inspiration that helps you get organized without losing your style.
For our sports fans, the new season energy is already building—so make sure you check out our article on Rally in the Valley Pickleball Tournament. Whether you’re a seasoned player or just looking to learn the rules and claim your spot on the court, fall is the perfect time to get moving and have some fun together. 🏓
And when it comes to food—because transitions are better with something tasty—this month’s recipe is ready to comfort your craving with an Ultimate Bacon Cheeseburger 🍔, plus a kid-friendly pairing: Kids Chocolate Charcuterie🍫 Consider it the culinary equivalent of pulling out a favorite jacket—warm, familiar, and guaranteed to make everyone happier.
And for our Kids Corner, we are keeping things light and fun with an activity called Adopt a Pet Rock. It’s simple, creative, and the kind of playful project that turns curiosity into something you can actually take home.
Our Charity Spotlight highlights LIU12 Franklin County Literacy Council's Puzzlemania, a creative and meaningful way to support literacy and encourage learning across the community 🧩
Finally, we end the issue with a community story that celebrates the people who help shape the heart of our town. Be sure to read about the Spring Street Amphitheater Townie Award, recognizing those who contribute to the culture and connection that make Chambersburg feel like home.
As always, we’re grateful for our sponsors and partners who make Chambersburg Neighbors possible. Please support them whenever you can, and if you share anything from the magazine on social media, be sure to like our page and use so we can join in the fun.
