On Saturday, October 4, the North Market will be hosting its Harvest Festival.
The Harvest Festival is free and has activities such as pumpkin pie, apple pie, and pumpkin bread contests; free cookies and apples for kids; face painting; crafts; and music.
If you haven’t bought any local apples, pumpkins, squash or cider this fall, the Farmers’ Market at the North Market is a great place to do so. Last week, the selection was great. It seemed like there were more vendors at the market last week than in previous weeks. As usual, the Farmers’ Market opens at 8 a.m.
Scheduled Harvest Festival activities include:
•Farmers’ Market and North Market merchants open at 8 a.m.
•Pumpkin Bread contest, 9 a.m.
•Live music by Slate Ridge, 10 a.m. – 12 p.m.
•Pumpkin Pie contest, 10 a.m.
•Free pumpkin cookies for the kids, courtesy of Mozart’s Bakery, 10 a.m. while supply lasts.
•Free apples for the kids, 10 a.m. while supply lasts.
•Autumn crafts with the Columbus Jaycees, 11 a.m. – 1 p.m.
•Apple pie contest, 11 a.m.
•Face painting, 11a.m. – 4 p.m.
