The sun is setting earlier. Every swimsuit is on sale, and the stores are filled with school supplies - where did summer go?
Our region is a rich source of history, natural beauty, great food and cultural events, and welcoming the annual influx of tourists to join us in the places we love is a part of the rhythm of life here. We at PACTV have enjoyed a robust season of covering our communities, and wish you a happy transition from the relaxation of summer into the bustle of fall.

"When summer opens, I see how fast it matures, and fear it will be short; but after the heats of July and August, I am reconciled, like one who has had his swing, to the cool of autumn."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
