The Staples Area Farmer's

Market will hold a 'Customer Appreciation Fall Festival' Saturday, Oct. 31, from 9 a.m. - 3 p.m., at 205 Airview Drive NE, Staples.

Free chili, coffee and pastries will be available; and live music by 'Don & Dee' is on the agenda as well.

"It's going to be a fun day," said Ed Boroski, farmer's market site manager. "All of the farmer's market representatives will be there; and we've got a great craft sale lined up, too."

The festival will be held inside a heated garage (located across from the airport in Staples); and Boroski said it will take place whether it rains or snows.

"We're grateful to all the people who have supported the farmer's market," Bososki said. "This is our way of saying 'thank you.'"
