There’s something special about fall in Collingswood—the changing leaves, local traditions and the people who continue to bring the community to life. Our latest issue of 08108 Collingswood celebrates the creativity, talent and community spirit that make this town so special. 

We dive into the story behind Philly Cookie Company, founded by Collingswood High School graduate Loc Pham, exploring his journey from hometown student to entrepreneur and the passion behind his delicious creations (pg. 5). We also introduce you to talented local artist Catherine Cathers Donoahue, whose work adds another layer of creativity to our community (pg.12).

On page 10 we take a glimpse back at the 2026 Haddon Township Garden Tour and the 20th anniversary of the Collingswood Crafts & Fine Arts Festival on page 16.

From inspiring artists and hometown entrepreneurs to the events that make the season memorable, this issue offers plenty to explore.

As we settle into fall, we hope you enjoy the stories, discover something new and continue to support the people and businesses that make this community shine.

Happy Reading!
