Oak Park Farmer's Market Closes Saturday

Annual feast of fresh food (even those donuts), camaraderie and music ends its 37th season.

If you get up early on Saturday morning just to dunk your freshly-made donut into a cup of hot coffee, this weekend's the last chance to do it for a while.

The flowers, the apples, pumpkins and lively bluegrass music also will be gone when the Oak Park Farmer's Market closes its 37th season.

The market is open from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the parking lot of Pilgrim Congregational Church, 460 Lake St.
