It’s the spooky time of year! One of my favorite pasttimes is scrolling through all the pictures of homemade spooky treats on sites like Pinterest. The creativity amazes me (in the same way that all the candy chutes and innovative pandemic-inspired candy delivery mechanisms in the neighborhood amazes me)! Who knew that apples, peanut butter, and strawberries could make spooky treats? Or that bell peppers could be carved like pumpkins and used to hold veggie dip? Or that you could use a watermelon to make a gaping maw that … dispenses fruit salad! Want to try some of these ideas for your pre- or post-trick or treating nosh? The farmers market will have all the ingredients you need! Prep for Halloween at Barrett Elementary School on Saturday, September 4, between 8:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. And don’t forget your pre-orders for Saturday pickup! We’ll see you at the Market!
