It's also Pumpkin People time! (If you don't know what that means, check it out here!) Oct 25-26 is the last weekend to see the world famous gourd headed guys in Kentville this year, and it's worth a trip.  Visit the market and browse our vendor shops, enjoy delicious local treats and a breath of fresh air, and meet new people (pumpkin headed or otherwise, Kentville is a friendly bunch). We'd love to see you!
