  • A one-time vendor will be selling Davenport-area organic Fuji apples and Bosc pears for just 75¢ per pound. (Compare that with Safeway’s $2.99 per pound for non-local, non-organic apples.)
  • An old-fashioned cider press to juice apples that you’ve either brought or bought. Don’t forget to bring a jug!
  • A balloon animal maker for the kids.
  • Members of Corbin Senior Activity Center and the Women and Children’s Free Restaurant will get a free jar of spiced apple jelly for coming down and joining us.
  • This also marks the last Friday of the year that Spokane Hope Christian Reformed Church will be preparing authentic Korean food alongside the market to eat in or take out.
  • Plus music, hay bales, and the bittersweet farewell that comes with the end of the season.
