PER-DIEM VENDORS

WAMPANOAG WILDFLOWER HONEY Acton, MA
Dave Lunger brings his hyper-local honeys to market — an amber with notes of linden from early in the season, and his darker, late-season honey. Buzzzzzzz.

DEBORAH'S KITCHEN Littleton, MA
Deborah's jams and preserves use two-thirds fruit, all-natural sugar, and no HFCS (high-fructose corn syrup) or preservatives. Our creative blend of multiple fruits makes each flavor a unique gourmet treat.

GOURD AND PLENTY FARM Ayer & Dracut, MA
Gourd and Plenty Farm offers organically grown (i.e., no spray) produce, including 20 varieties of heirloom winter squash.



PERFORMER

ABRHS A CAPPELLA GROUPS • Acton, MA
Pop/Contemporary Voice-Only Music
Four Acton-Boxborough Regional High School a cappella groups send out the ABFM season! Two of the student-led groups are co-ed: 13 Fish named Jennifer and Cascade; Downbeat is an all-female group and Testostertones are — shockingly — guys. Check ‘em out! (They're awesome.) 11:15am–12:30pm

COMMUNITY TABLE

BOY SCOUTS TROOP 1 • Acton, MA
Troop 1 encourages its scouts to have fun while helping others. Scouts will be on hand with information about how the Troop has recently been giving back to its community. Donations will be gratefully accepted for support of current and future service projects.

kids' activity

BOO!
Masks, masks, masks . . .

For pure and timely fun, kids will create their own masks today (for Halloween or general purposes!). Blanks and copious amounts of decorating materials will be available for wild and crazy creativity. (NB: Kids are very clever — please be sure the child you take home is your own!)


THANK YOU for a great season!
