Healdsburg Farmers' Market offers more than produce.

 


This blog post has been updated to reflect the Community Foundation Sonoma County award.

The Healdsburg Farmers' Market Pumpkin Fest offered a plethora of down-home fun for area residents. From pumpkin carving and scarecrow contests to pumpkin car decorating and races, the fun began at 9 a.m. with the ringing of the market bell.

The Community Foundation Sonoma County awarded Grace Vanden Huevel, who was dressed as Laura Ingalls Wilder, $100 to be given to a charitable organization of her choice. The award was given for her pumpkin car racer in the form of a covered wagon pulled by horses. (See photo.)

At least three Healdsburg City Council candidates were on hand for the festivities--Tom Chambers, Shaun McCaffery and Vern Simmons each supported the market through volunteer efforts.
