Giants & Pumpkins Make MCM Awesome!
Last Thursday was a truly memorable night at MCM, made even more special now that the San Francisco Giants just clenched the 2012 World Series title!
The night started out with a performance from the Horace Mann Community Music Center as a talented group of young performers treated us to a set of entertaining tunes!
Beginning at 5 pm, several patrons and community members enjoyed a showing of the Giants’ win over the Detroit Tigers on a warm October night while enjoying 4505 Meats‘ cheeseburgers or snacking on kettle corn from Peter’s Kettle Corn. Several patrons commented that they much preferred the chance to catch the game in an outdoor setting rather than a bar or restaurant and thanked MCM for bringing the World Series to them! We’d like to extend a GIANT thank you to Anderson AV Rentals and Amanda Leahy, as well as the wonderful people at Mission Market Fish & Poultry and El Perol for all their help to make this possible.
Kids of all ages enjoyed getting crafty in a pumpkin patch brought to you by Blue House Farm and Hale Farm, two of our amazing vendors. Seated atop bales of hay, kids created painted masterpieces made out of gourds of all sizes, and several patrons took home pumpkins to decorate or cook at home. The center of the market was transformed into a mini pumpkin patch for the afternoon and when it got dark, carved pumpkins illuminated to light the market. Thanks so much to Minnie of Blue House Farms and Dave of Hale Farms for making the pumpkin patch a success!
We’d like to thank everyone who came out to the market this week by participating in the movement to transform Bartlett Street into a space where community members gather to enjoy one another’s company and connect with neighbors. Click here for more information on the Mercado Plaza project, a campaign to make Bartlett a safe, inviting, family-friendly environment for community collaboration.
