Friends-

Im happy to announce that on Sunday, October 26th at 4 PM in
Monroe Park, The World Famous Bread and Puppet theatre will perform
for your pleasure. This company did a wonderful performance in the
same park last year and was a delight for young and old. The puppet
spectacle mixed with relevant social commentary made for a most
entertaining afternoon. There is no admission but donations are
gratefully accepted. Please mark your calendar and tell your friends.

Also, on Halloween (which is of course October 31), Lily
Lamberta’s All The Saints Theatre company will stage a wonderful
Halloween parade starting at 7 PM in Monroe Park and proceeding down
Laurel into Oregon Hill, coming back up Pine Street. This is also a
tradition not to be missed!

Byrd House Market today from 3:30 to 7PM:

Fall produce definitely has that comfort food factor. The sweet potatoes have arrived and my goodness, they are delicious! We have squash in many intriguing shapes and colors (some use these for centerpieces but we suggest eating them.) Many varieties of apples are flying out of our vendors’ booths and one bite will make you proud to be a Virginian. While you are stocking up on root vegetables, enjoy the roots music of Needle in a Hempsack performing in the garden.
