O\u2019Hara resident Lennox Kennedy had the best view of fall festivities going in Aspinwall earlier this month.<\/p>\n
She was perched on her father Jake\u2019s shoulders as he and wife, Lauren Kennedy, walked through the borough during Fall in the Wall on Oct. 10.<\/p>\n
Lennox, 20 months, painted a pumpkin with her parents.<\/p>\n
It was later displayed as a priceless work of art pushed in a stroller by her mother, who was excited to make some family memories on a cool Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe love fall, and this time last year Lennox was kind of sick so we didn\u2019t really get to do a lot of community events and things like that for fall,\u201d Lauren Kennedy said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are just super excited to see this and happy to be here. Fall is my favorite season. Halloween is my favorite (holiday). Every single fall event we see, we\u2019re going to be (there). This is the place to be and something to enjoy outside before it gets too cold. It\u2019s really nice to be super close and be accessible to this part of the community.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sarah Grey of Aspinwall watched as her 9-year-old beagle, Roland H. Wilson, woofed down some vanilla ice cream at the event.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe come every year,\u201d Grey said. \u201cIt\u2019s great. It\u2019s nice to run into your neighbors, and all the kids love to pet him.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grey took home some pumpkin pie, chocolate and vanilla flavors from vendor Lawrenceville-based Millie\u2019s Homemade Ice Cream. Pup cups were popular servings.<\/p>\n
Other activities included face painting, a petting zoo, pony rides, wand making, bounce houses, food and drink vendors and performances by magician Baffling Bob.<\/p>\n
Andy Singer of Aspinwall walked along side his son, Drew, 2, as he rode Sammy, a pony from Suzie\u2019s Pony Rides. It was the family\u2019s first activity of the day.<\/p>\n
Singer said the event layout looked similar to previous years, and he enjoyed seeing all the local vendors.<\/p>\n
Vendors included Labriola Winery, Renewal by Anderson, Local Remedy Brewing, Dolce Nota, Delina\u2019s Ethio Cafe and Zest Pediatrics Fox Chapel.<\/p>\n
Aspinwall Neighbors had an informational booth. Foxwall EMS had an ambulance and some equipment for families to check out. Etna and Southern Allegheny Valley Emergency Services brought fire trucks and had some giveaways for the children.<\/p>\n
The event was presented by the Aspinwall Chamber of Commerce. Sponsors included blink, Coldwell Banker, Kieffer Optical, Farmers National Bank and Developmint, formerly Premier Imaging & Camera.<\/p>\n
Shops along Brilliant Avenue were open during the event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"O\u2019Hara resident Lennox Kennedy had the best view of fall festivities going in Aspinwall earlier this month.
