October looks like a Good Time,
It's Breast Cancer Awareness month. And it's Italian Heritage Month. AND it's Halloween. October's weather and occasions make for a great number of Events around town, and I hope you stay safe, but make it
to as many as you can.
Feel free to share this with our Neighbors, Friends and Family in Town, who can all subscribe to our Events emails (like this one) at ILoveBabylon.com/subscribe. We make sure you don't miss any of the great Events this month, by bringing you a preview of the best of October 2020!
See You Around Town,
Ryan

Breast Cancer Awareness Month in Babylon is always commemorated with the Tanger FIT 5K. While the COVID epidemic has made it unwise
for survivors and supporters to gather in large groups, the 5K continues - online. You'll need to register by the 10th and you'll be allowed to complete your 5K from the 11th to the 18th.
There are other Volunteering and Fundraising feelgood and fun events this month too, check them out below.

Farmer's 👩🌾 Markets - last full month

Hopefully you have been enjoying the fresh produce and local foodstuff at our 3 Farmer's Markets currently running. They all end in November so this month is definitely a great time to go enjoy them in the nice weather before it gets too cold.

The Famous Food Festival is back at Tanger on the 10th and 11th, bringing varieties of food flavors from around the world.
However, I am going to give you this one bit of advice: you have to go early, because every year I have gone they sell out, and the trucks or vendors are gone or leaving by 1 or 2pm.
It's also the 25th Anniversary of the Conklin House Apple & Arts Festival in Babylon Village, where you can enjoy the History of the house, arts and light fare. And be sure to check out the Harvest Festival at St. Paul's Church on the 25th - there will be vendors and
music and a family affair.
