While shopping a beautiful fall harvest you and the kids can watch Jessica Manfro's Giant Pumpkin Carving (and enter a free raffle for the finished artistic gourd). You can meet dietitian & author Elizabeth Pecoraro while tasting recipes from her “The Allergy-Friendly Cookbook: Simple Recipes for the Whole Family”.
