     Join us on Tuesday, October 7 for the final Westside Farmers Market of the season!  We’re closing out the year with our annual celebration of wellness, community, and the fall harvest. 
     This year’s festival brings together all aspects of health — financial, physical, mental, emotional, and societal — through food, music, education, and community connections:

✨ Healthy Living & Education

• His Branches and the Wilmot Cancer Institute will share important health resources — including Wilmot’s unforgettable giant inflatable organ exhibit.
• The Cognitive Development Lab (U of R), Arnett Branch Library, City of Rochester – Office of Management and Budget, Recipes for Community, and Abundance Food Co-op will all be on hand with engaging activities and information.

🍴 Food & Cooking

• Keishecka Miller of Nourish Rochester will lead a fall harvest cooking demonstration, showing how simple, healthy meals can start with fresh local produce.
• Every household will receive a free pumpkin and apples, along with samples of local cider.
• Market vendors will also be offering samples of their own goods throughout the evening.

🎨 Family Fun & Creativity- Stop in at the Kid's Tent! We'll be painting fall gourds from Lagoner Farms, a colorful way to celebrate the season!

🎶 Live Music- Enjoy two performances by market favorites The Debbie Kendrick Project and Scott Tremolo, bringing energy and soul to our closing day.
