Magazine: October 2011 Issue
Happy 5th Birthday
Published: 28-Sep-2011
High fives! This month, we’re celebrating Enjoy Magazine’s fifth birthday.In the past five years, we’ve published 998 stories, and the magazine has doubled in size. Inside this issue, you’ll have the opportunity to get to know some of the people who contribute words, photos and designs to Enjoy. We also reveal some behind-the-scenes tricks of our trade, including how we choose our covers.
But it’s not all about us! Like each of the 60 editions before this, this issue shines light on some of the people and places that make our North State a beautiful place to live, work and play. Meet Maxie McCarley, a 2006 West Valley graduate who designed and constructed her wedding dress using pieces from her mom’s, mother-in-law’s, aunt’s, grandmother’s and great-grandmother’s wedding gowns.
Celebrate a Siskiyou County fall tradition with a trip to Hunter Orchards, where children hunt for the perfect jack-o-lantern and adults marvel at how its owners have embraced farming as a rewarding way of life. Or join the Shasta Trinity Fly Fishers at their second annual Tri-County Fly Fishing Fair, which honors one of the North State’s most revered pastimes.
Another much-anticipated local event, the Stillwater Pow Wow, is a modern-day ceremonial gathering that reaffirms the ancient cultural values of Native Americans. The three-day dance contest and cultural fair is described by one organizer as “a celebration of life. It’s a way to maintain our cultural identity in modern times. It’s a way to take a look back in the past and hold on to our heritage, regardless of whatever tribe we’re from.”
If you’re looking for a new look, we’ll share tips for refreshing your hair and makeup so you look fantastic for fall (think smoky, metallic eyes and bright lips), and you’ve still got plenty of time to create a unique, easy-to-make Halloween costume for your little ones – we’ve got some ideas for you.
To our readers, advertisers, contributors and everyone who has helped this magazine evolve over the past five years, we cannot thank you enough. We are so proud and honored to be part of this community – our community. Happy birthday, and enjoy!
