Oh, sure, it might be 150 degrees outside right now and the calendar says the seasons won't change for another three weeks, but you can feel it.
Football is in the air.
Excitement is already brewing as COC prepares to field its first football team in 17 years and the Indians and Vikings gear up for one heck of a battle for the Foothill League title. It's starting to get dark at 7. And once again, after a fairly slow July and August, the SCV's community calendar has every date checked off from here to, oh, sometime in February, I think. The historical society will host a free ice cream social for members and volunteers on Wednesday, Sept. 16, with hand-cranked ice cream made by Tom Frew, the SCV's only known star of a television documentary on ice cream making. Then on Friday the 18th it's back to downtown Newhall for the groundbreaking of the future Metrolink station and the dedication of the newly improved Railroad Avenue.
