Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Day
Ceci Bracho will be the featured chef Saturday, Oct. 17, when the Wake Forest Farmers Market celebrates Hispanic Heritage Day. She will be cooking arepas, flat round patties made with corn meal, a bit of water and a dash of salt. They can be grilled, baked or fried and filled with anything you desire. Her demonstration will begin at 9 a.m.
At the same time, Mary Margaret Steele will set up her reflexology booth, inviting market-goers to rest their feet and have a relaxing foot massage.
The music this week will be by Dave Ellis. Be sure to leave a dollar or so in the tip jar since the market does not pay the musicians.
The market will be open in Renaissance Plaza on Brooks Street Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon – winter hours of 10 a.m. to noon do not begin until Nov. 7 – and features as always a breath-taking array of vendors offering seasonal produce such as winter greens, squash and sweet potatoes, seafood from the coast, pasture-raised meats, eggs, plants, honey and bee products, locally roasted coffee, handmade soaps and lotions, fresh-cut flowers, pottery, yard art and more.
