FMNP Vouchers and Fall Fun...

WIC & Senior FMNP Voucher Deadline This Saturday

Saturday, October 31, 2020, is the final deadline for participants of the WIC and Senior FMNP programs to use their vouchers while purchasing produce from participating vendors at farmers markets throughout Mississippi.

The Mississippi Farmers Market has vendors who accept these vouchers, and participating shoppers can use their vouchers during Market hours, 8.m. to 1 p.m. this Saturday. Our vendors are always ready to meet new shoppers and eager to catch up with the regulars! Plus, you'll find lots of new fall produce in this season!

The final day of the Extended Mississippi State Fair was Sunday, October 25, 2020. As a result, traffic patterns around the Fairgrounds will now be normal.

As always, we look forward to seeing you Saturday at the Market for another round of "fresh shopping." Bring your vouchers if you have any, as this will be your final opportunity to use them before they expire.

Ag Museum Harvest Fest

Every fall, the Mississippi Agriculture & Forestry Museum hosts its Harvest Fest, weeklong adventure of family fun on the grounds of the Museum. The festival will take place from Tuesday, November 3 to Saturday, November 7, 2020. Grab the kids, and come out to see the popular Small Town, Mississippi, come to life each day from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. They'll also enjoy the wagon, train, and carousel rides and the live agricultural demonstrations.

Trick-or-Treat Alternatives for Halloween

2020 has been an interesting year. Very few things have gone unchanged this year, and for many families, trick-or-treating may not be part of their plans this season. The good news is this: there are still several ways to have a good time this Halloween, even if trick-or-treating is not included!

Check out these inexpensive ways you can enjoy Halloween at home or in less crowded places this year:

Watch Halloween movies at home. You could even do this outdoors at night for a more dramatic effect!
Decorate and carve pumpkins.
Play board games and other popular games, like ring toss and Bingo.
Print and color Halloween or fall-themed coloring sheets.
Trick-or-treat indoors with the older kids and adults handing the smaller kids candy from their bedrooms.
Visit an orchard, forest, or corn maze.
Attend (or create) a scavenger hunt.

Still Prefer to Go Trick-or-Treating?

If you do decide to continue with your trick-or-treating plans, please refer to the CDC's trick-or-treating safety recommendations to help protect everyone during COVID-19.
