Spooky season kicks off at the Saint-Norbert farmers market

Trick-or-treaters were able to get a healthy dose of Halloween fun Saturday at a year-round farmers market, all geared up for a spooky season.

The St. Norbert Farmers’ Market in south Winnipeg invited young children and families to participate in a number of events and festivities, including a rat scavenger hunt held at various market stalls.

“We have 75 vendors today selling fresh food, a lot of things from the garden or fields, and a lot of processed, potted and baked homemade produce,” said Danielle Mondor, general manager of the Saint -Norbert.

Children could also take part in craft activities, a photo booth and warm up by an outdoor bonfire.

Mondor said the spooky celebration is one of many events the market hosts throughout the year.

“People are here for all kinds of reasons, so we try to meet the needs of a lot of different clienteles,” Mondor said. “If you’re looking for something to do, we always have things to do for families and kids at our market because we know it’s a great place to spend the day at the farmers market.”

The Saint-Norbert farmers’ market is open every Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Entrance is free.
