Check out these Jack-o-lanterns from Food Revolution Community: Oranges with fresh fruit inside! As parents, we want the healthiest options for our kids  everyday. On Halloween, we need to juggle our desire for a balanced diet for our children, with their desire for sweets! After a quick web-search here are some options:

• Dark Chocolate is rich in Anti-Oxidants!
• Chocolate dipped figs are rich in nutrition!
• Soy Treats are full of protien!
• Honey and/or sesame candy contain only 7 grams of sugar*
• Pretzel Snacks!

Join us this Sunday, October 26 as we celebrate “Healthy Halloween” with tricks, treats, and more…

Arts and Education

Kayla Mansfield is an independent face painter, native to Albuquerque New Mexico. Kayla has been the resident face painter at the Railyards for the entire 2014 season, the Growers Market downtown on Saturdays, and Tasty Tuesdays and Hyder park. This time of year, Kayla is known for her Dia de los Muertos-style painting. Her fine line work a second to none. Kayla also does character performances. Mansfield spends much of her time exciting children, but thrives in the world of aduld body-painting, as well. She is available for personal bookings, birthday parties, celebrations, and other various occasions. This Sunday, Kayla will be demonstrating traditional style Dia de los Muertos face painting in the Traditional Zone at The RailYards Market. She will be teaching techniques and styles throughout the day, so that you may recreate them this Nov 2nd for Dia the los Muertos.

At the Pop-Up Gallery David Warfield Stires will be exhibiting will be an unique photographic experience of architectural abstractions as photographs. David Stires’ professional life began in publishing at Little, Brown & Co. on Beacon Hill in Boston. His career in publishing took him to New York where he lived for over 30 years. He began his photographic journey shortly after arriving in New York when a friend loaned him a Kodak folding bellows camera (120 film). While in New York he learned how to see in the streets and alleys and never stopped. He was fortunate to get to know some of the great photographers, eg, W.Eugene (Gene) Smith and David Vestal.

In the Children’s Zone we have the Southwest University of Visual Arts (SUVA) student Donnine Canamar working with children making Halloween Masks!
