BIRMINGHAM, MI — The Birmingham Farmers Market will wind down next Sunday with a celebration. The event will take place 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. in Public Parking Lot 6. The day will include hayrides (weather permitting), corn shelling, live music and pumpkin carving demonstrations. Children are encouraged to wear their Halloween costumes and collect special treats from the farmers.
