Jeffco Crew #081 - Farmers Market Finales, Terrariums & More Oktoberfests

Well, well, well. It doesn't feel like a scorching desert anymore!

Fall vibes are very strong, and I'm here for it.

The amount of Octoberfests happening this weekend is pretty peak.

And we bid farewell to our farmers markets this week and next week, for the most part.

Go get some fresh local food and a German beer?
