Howl at the Market (Halloween Market)

October 27, 2018 7:30 am - October 27, 2018 11:59 pm

To celebrate the end of the Farmers’ Market season, kids who attend are invited to wear Halloween costumes and if they’re 12 or under, pick up a “BOO BUCK” at the Information Booth, which can be used to shop the market for specially marked items.
