Lawrence Farmers' Market to feature pumpkins; weekday markets end Thursday
The Lawrence Farmers’ Market will be celebrating pumpkins on Saturday. While there has been a nationwide pumpkin shortage, there is an abundance at the market.
The market will feature pumpkin decorating for children as well as a chance to win one of several larger pumpkins.
Vendors can talk about which pumpkins work well for eating and which are better for just decorating.
Besides pumpkins, other produce that is still in season includes herbs, onions, potatoes, cucumbers, green beans, kale, parsley, eggplant, apples, bell peppers, hot peppers, garlic, cherry tomatoes, winter squash, sweet potatoes, chestnuts, turnips, beets and radishes.
The market will be from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. Oct. 24 at 824 N.H. Next week, there will be free horse-drawn wagon rides from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.
While the Saturday markets continue until Nov. 21, the weekday markets, which are from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays at 1020 Vt., will end Thursday, Oct. 29.
Also, the annual holiday market will be from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 12, at Knights of Columbus Hall, 2206 E. 23rd St.
