We've upped the stakes this year - so come dressed in your fiercest zombie costume. In celebration of the end of another successful market season we're inviting all of our vendors to participate whether you are selling that weekend or not

Honorable Mentions - our love and admiration

Get out your sharpies and your knives - it's pumpkin carving time. It's BYOP (bring your own pumpkin) or you can purchase one from the farmers. Create your scariest/funniest/most ridiculous pumpkin (extra points if you make one that looks like the market manager).

1st Prize - $100 in "SoWa Market Cash"
2nd Prize - $50 in "SoWa Market Cash"
3rd Prize - $25 in "SoWa Market Cash"

"What," you ask "is SoWa Market Cash?" It's money that can only be spent with vendors at the SoWa Market. Vendors who have customers pay with market cash will be reimbursed by the market.

There are still spots available for the 28th, so come on down and help us celebrate!
