(Dianne Trueb, )

The Ellington Farmers' Market concludes its outdoor season on Saturday October 19th from 9-12 in Arbor Park. Bring your pets dressed in their Halloween finery and join the hilarious Halloween Pet Parade which takes place at 10:30. Prizes will be awarded to the best costumes.

Produce is still abundant with everything from raspberries, strawberries, tomatoes, eggplant, greens, peppers, beets and many more. Farm products, baked goods, honey, maple syrup, specialty foods, bath and body products and artisan wares round out the items available.

Musical entertainment will be provided by folk singer Sheryl Stanton, a Somers CT native whose soulful delivery is delightful.
