It’s the penultimate week of this year’s market season. Early morning frosts have started to affect some of our growers’ crops, so be sure to keep an eye out for items like local heirloom tomatoes and zucchini. They might not be available for much longer.<\/p>\n

However, some ends are also beginnings, and a few growers like Song Sparrow Farms already have big, plump pumpkins and acorn squash available.<\/p>\n

Today’s free KERNEL activity was supposed to be Fun with Fungi, but it’s been changed to a really cool demonstration of transpiration<\/a>, which is how plants absorb water and let it evaporate from their leaves. Kids will get to see transpiration in action and then do a coloring page. As always, every participant will get $2 in KERNEL Cash for spending on fresh fruit and veggies once they’re done.<\/p>\n

This week we’re saying goodbye to Sailor Girl Soap & Supplies<\/a> and Made with Love Bakery<\/a>. Stop by, stock up for autumn, and find out where you can get in touch with them during the winter months.<\/p>\n

BECU<\/a> will be back with their giveaway booth to promote their new Spokane branches. Drop in at their booth for smiles and goodies and remember to give them a shout out with the #BECULife hashtag on social media.<\/p>\n

For music, we’ve got a new band called Armed and Dangerous. Although they’ve been working on original music of their own, today they’ll be doing covers of classic rock.<\/p>\n

Here are all the vendors who are currently scheduled to join us today:<\/p>\n
