SR Farmer’s Market sets Trick or Treat Day Oct. 27
The Scripps Ranch Farmer’s Market & Family Festival will hold a festive Trick or Treat Day for shoppers and children on Oct. 27 from 3:30 to 7:30 p.m.
Costumes are not mandatory, but Farmer’s Market manager Bev Cassity said she would love to see visitors dressed up in keeping with the spirit of the season. She is also asking the Farmer’s Market vendors to dress up in costume, which they have done for the Halloween event at the market in the past.
Those attending will be greeted by a 10-foot dragon that looks like it is flying on the grass at the entrance. In addition, visitors will walk through a large black arch with steamers hanging down to get into the market at the entrance.
Shoppers will see a number of Halloween-themed inflatable figures throughout the market as well.
“There will be a 6-foot-tall witch that the kids can get their picture taken in front of,” Cassity said. “So, we’re telling parents to bring their cameras and cell phones so they can take their own pictures. Take as many as you want.”
Every vendor will be giving out free treats for the children.
“All the children should bring their Halloween trick or treat bags – bring big bags,” Cassity said.
Music will be playing at the market, including Halloween-themed tunes for the children.
Kids can also look forward to an arts and crafts booth, a balloon artist, clown and face painter.
There will be at least 50 vendors at the Farmer’s Market on Oct. 27.
“Don’t eat before you come because there will be 20 different kinds of food booths to choose from,” Cassity said.
Alfredo Hidalgo, one of the top flower growers in San Diego County, is back at the Scripps Ranch Farmer’s Market with a 20-foot display-booth. There are now five farmers offering fresh items at the market each Thursday.
The Scripps Ranch Farmer’s Market & Family Festival is located at 10045 Carroll Canyon Road.
