The Portland Farmers Markets are so much fun. Although the tone is cool, calm and collected (after all, you are shopping! How hyper could you get?), any of the local Farmers Markets around the area are great places to visit, enjoy some live tunes from local musicians and peruse for some of the freshest produce and baked goods on the planet.

October is going to be especially spooktactular as the PSU Farmers Market holds their 10th annual Great Pumpkin Event on October 31st. This promises to be a wonderful and safe event for the entire family. Bring the kids and enjoy a pumpkin carving contest, a children’s costume parade that will wind throughout the Market, a couple exceptional cooking demostrations, and other terrific things to see and do.

The fun starts at 9am  sharp and goes until 2pm. All the children’s activities are graciously being provides by Playworks. Thanks, guys!

So, now is your chance to jet down to the PSU Farmers Market, centrally located at the south park blocks at Portland State University (SW Park between Harrison and Montgomery), on Saturday, October 31st, for the Great Pumpkin Event.

Just think….you’ll finally have your chance to dress up like a giant Rutabaga and no one is going to look at you funny! Weeeee!
