This Sunday is our last outdoor market for the season!

Pumpkin Carving Contest

Bring your carved pumpkin to the market before 11am this Sunday!

Spooky or kooky, your pumpkin will compete to be voters’ favorite.  All contestants receive a $10 gift card from Nicollet Ace Hardware.  Even better, Nicollet Ace has donated market pumpkins for your kids to carve up at the market.  Stop by!  Tools provided!

The Kingfield Farmers Market will greet folks at Southwest High’s showing of the film Fresh
