Farmer's Market Update

From Allison:

Pumpkin painting and face painting this Sunday
Bring your children and their friends! This Sunday the market will feature a children's station with paint, brushes, and decorating materials for kids to express their autumn-inspired creativity. There will also be a face painter available to paint faces (she'll be working for free, so be sure to express your gratitude!). Festivities will commence at 10am and last until 1pm.


Solar oven demonstration
A local nonprofit will be bringing a solar oven to demonstrate. This organization works for the economic and social improvement of the people of Haiti, and currently has a program to bring solar ovens to Haitian women. Their director writes, "Haitans' daily energy use comes from trees, but Haiti has been frequently affected by ecological disasters as a result of poor forestation. The solar oven promotes the use of environmentally friendly--and free--energy." At the market, we'll roast market veggies and meat in the oven to give out (for free!) to shoppers, and a representative from this organization will be available to answer questions.

**in the event of rain, these events will be moved to Sunday, November 1st.
