The date for the next challenge will be Saturday, November 7th.
The Harvest Festival Challenge is similar to the Farmers' Market but with more possibilities. Our farmers' market will be winding down soon, as will most markets in the cooler climates. The market here will end the season with a End of Harvest Festival and so will we.
Since the last weekend of this month is Halloween and so many other activities will be happening I decided to wait until November. This gives everyone a little extra time to prepare and get more photos. Let's see photos of your markets and festivals. Many of you are going into the summer season and will have exciting new things to share.
The purpose of this challenge is to raise awareness for purchasing locally produced foods. Be it fruits, vegetables, dairy products, meat, or any related items we want to know what's available where you live. If possible keep this purpose in mind but if your area does not have any related activities I know you will come up with something fun to share with the rest of us.
How will this work? All you have to do is post photos and/or a story on your blog on or before Saturday, November 7th. When you have it posted to your blog come back to my blog and add your link to Mister Linky. I will give you a reminder just before the challenge. Remember the next challenge is November 7th. Are you in?

Love your pumpkins! Well, not YOUR pumpkins, per say. Great lighting on them!
The mums look great, too!
This is really a photo CHALLENGE for me. We'll be in Mesa, AZ by then. I'll have to look around and see what's available.
Aye aye Miss! Oh I wish I could find one here. After the floods? Ho hum.

Wow...Judy, these photos are just spectacular to see. I love the grass and the flowers.
This should be a wonderful challenge. I probably won't be out to get any photos, but I look forward to seeing what everyone else posts.
Wow! The colors are magnificent.
The pumpkins are such a rich colour, beautiful.I'll try to find something for the 7th.
Sounds like fun to me, count me in!

And of course I will participate! I'll find something to share. Our market will go on until after the holidays, then closes for four months. It will be interesting to see what they have available then.
Beautiful pictures of the pumpkins and flowers, Judy.. AND--a great awareness challenge.

I'm IN! Wel, DUH, I love these challenges and they're so easy when you live in New England surrounded my farms and fields and pumpkins.
Thought of you today when I strolled through my farmers market, only four stands, really winding down now. it was sad, but we perked right up when we went to the nearest farm to buy little Lizzie a pumpkin, she grabbed the stems of two and wouldn't let go, so now we have two big pumpkins! more pumpkin soup! yum! -kate
