Opening night for the comedy play “The Wench Hunt,” a West Plains Playhouse production, is this Friday. The cast will be in costume at the market on Saturday hosting a scavenger hunt for children 10 and younger. Come on out, meet the cast, take pictures and join in the fun!

And to warm you up, 101 Pastries will have hot cranberry spiced cider, and Falling Spring Farm will have hot chocolate!

We also have a brand-new vendor for you to meet: Kara Ingalls and her spouse, the proud owners of A Third Slice, a small cottage bakery specializing in homemade specialty pies.

“Every pie is made from scratch with care, using quality ingredients and a whole lot of love,” Kara explains. “Our goal is to bring something special to the table with delicious, thoughtfully crafted pies that we hope you’ll enjoy as much as we enjoy making them. We’re so excited to be part of the local ‘Go Farm’ Farmer’s Market and look forward to sharing a slice of something special with our community!

Mary Sacco, owner of Chantilly’s Bakery, also has her delicious gourmet pastries every Saturday — come early, as she sells out quickly every week!

Fall has arrived, and before you know it, the holidays will be here! Many of our bakers are already taking orders for family, friends and workplace gatherings and parties. Don’t miss out — get on their lists early!
