Come on out to Autumn Fest and Bazaar at the Alderson Community Market on Tuesday, Oct. 9 from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Alderson Visitors Center parking lot (old Gulf Station) located on Route 3/12 by the old bridge in Alderson.

In addition to a wonderful selection of fresh local fruits, vegetables, baked goods, and meats from local farmers, there will be live music by Hopson and Hunter, a piñata and other activities for children, a raffle for a gift basket filled with over $75 of local baked goods, fruits, vegetables, jams, and other hand-made products, a bazaar featuring antiques, curiosities, oddities, and collectibles, and plenty of BBQ and other prepared foods from Stuart’s Hot Dawgs and Smokehouse.

The market is a project of the Alderson Community Food Hub whose goal is to strengthen the community and local economy by creating opportunity for people to buy and sell locally produced products in a family-friendly atmosphere. The market accepts debit and credit cards, SNAP, and Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Vouchers.
