illcreek residents can enjoy a new seasonal market at Millcreek Common beginning Friday, Oct. 6. The Harvest Market, which runs from Oct. 6 until Nov. 3, is a way to bring the community together to celebrate the bounty of the harvest with a series of festive, local markets on Friday evenings, say organizers. Millcreek Common plaza is located at 1354 E. Chambers Ave., in between Highland Drive and 13th East on 33rd South. The market will feature artisan goods, salsas, baked goods and fresh produce from local farms. In addition to vendors selling produce, crafts and treats, visitors can enjoy weekly market activities, live music, workshops, food trucks, pick-a-pumpkin and more. The market will offer a series of rotating themes and activities each week. The event’s opening night on Oct. 6 will feature a petting zoo and a craft making edible Mr. Potato Heads. The Oct. 13 event will have pumpkin-themed games and crafts using gourds. On Oct. 27, Harvest Market will offer an activity making seasonal snacks, and on the final night, Nov. 3, the market will have free pie slices for the first 150 guests and a pie crust baking activity. Roller skating at Millcreek Common will also be free from 4-5 p.m. every Friday in October. Finally, adults over 21 can enjoy locally-crafted beers and hard ciders from Second Summit Hard Cider Co., which opened in Millcreek over the summer. Continued page 8
