On Saturday, October 8, Shape Up Somerville, The Welcome Project, and the Somerville Housing Authority hosted a Block Party to celebrate the Mystic Mobile Market. The event took place at 530 Mystic Avenue in Somerville, on the lawn in front of the Mystic Activity Center at the Mystic Housing Development.  Events included pumpkin decorating, pumpkin recipe handouts (multilingual), cooking demonstrations, live entertainment and dance demonstrations, and arts and crafts.

The Mystic Mobile Farmers Market, with the Enterprise Farm bus, was there selling fresh local produce at affordable prices.  Additionally, Miss Black America, Claire Johnson, joined the day’s activities for Twister and hula hooping with the children in attendance.
