New Town HarvestFest Is October 5
The New Town HarvestFest on Saturday, Oct. 5, will be the closing event for the Farmers Market season and the kick-off of our grateful season. The event is scheduled at the Northern Lights, 710 East Ave., New Town.
The day will include a number of events running from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
That includes Harvest Share. If you have excess fruits and vegetables during this harvest, you can bring them to the “Harvest Share” table instead of letting it go to waste.
