Trick or Treat: Dress in costume if you'd like or if your kids want to.
Some vendors may have candy, some may not. Either way, no pressure.

Maryland Market Money is back for SNAP & WIC but we have to cut the match
down to $4 per week due to the overwhelming response of customers.

Elk Run Vineyards is back at the market this week.


We are offering a new option for local businesspeople that complement our
food options. One local business per week will be offered a slot at the
farmers market to offer services and goods that the market doesn't offer
for $25 per week. We suggest once a month attendance. If you're interested,
please contact us.


Here's our first local business booth for this week:

Would you like to wash your fruit and veggies and drink purified water from
your kitchen-sink based tailored drinking water purification system? If so,
you can easily do that because of Hydroviv <http://www.hydroviv.com/>



, a DC based company, whose Chemist/Owner created and recently released a
tailored drinking water purification filter system (and an advanced
shower/bath water purification filter) which are far above any similar
devices. Stop by this week to see if they would be good fits for you and
get your discount code.

Coming Attractions: Mary's Center March of Dimes Mama & Baby Bus
<http://www.maryscenter.org/content/mama-and-baby-bus-partnership-march-dimes>
