Pumpkins, squash, and gourds will abound at the farmers’ market on Saturday. The annual Harvest Festival on Oct. 5 is the last outdoor market of the year for the Bonners Ferry Farmers’ Market.
Enjoy the strolling music of Small Potatoes (The Russ Britt Band) as you browse the pumpkins, storage cabbage, onions, pears, plants, crafts, dried flower arrangements and baked goods.
On average, thirty vendors have been selling produce, plants and handmade goods at the Farmers’ Market each week throughout the summer.
“We’ve had a really good turnout,” said Gail Cathcart. “I’m pleased with the entire season.”
The Harvest Festival is from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the City Parking Lot.
