There is a crisp autumn feeling in the air and we are celebrating it at the markets this weekend with Kids Club and great food!
This weekend we will start the first round of pumpkin decorating and fuzzy spider crafts at Westfield (10/20) and Mosaic (10/21) from 10am-12pm. Special thanks to Westmoreland Produce for supplying mini pumpkins for the kids to decorate and take home! Kids will also receive a free Trick or Treat bag.
If you can't join us for Kids Club this weekend, don't fret - we will be doing it all over again at Pike and Bethesda next week!
Kids Club is a free activity made possible by the support of our business sponsors.
SAVE THE DATE: participate in our CANDY TURN IN on
November 3 and 4! Turn in one pound (or more) of candy to receive a bag with a $5 market gift certificate and other healthy treats from our markets. If you would like to participate, please email Debbie and she will make sure that you are on the list to get your free healthy goodie bag.
No BOOs here - only smiling pumpkin faces as we head into Halloween!
Get ready for Halloween at Kids Club this weekend! Join us at Westfield on 10/20 and Mosaic on 10/21 to decorate pumpkins and make fuzzy spiders. Kids Club will take place from 10am-12pm both days.
