They will have a stage with live music throughout the day. Booths selling clothing, cooked food, farmer’s market items, and a large assortment of almost anything imaginable are at a booth around the square. Right now, they are planning children’s activities and maybe a pumpkin carving contest. Usually, they have a few contests for baking and carving.<\/p>\n
