It’s seven days until Halloween and the Gibson Farm Market at California State University, Fresno has started the spooky fun with a pumpkin-carving contest judged by customers.
Fresno State-themed pumpkins, carved by students, are on display in the store until 6 p.m., when the winners will be announced.

The student-run enterprise’s weekly tasting of Fresno State student-produced, award-winning wines also is today from 4 to 6 p.m. The tasting fee of $5 includes a commemorative Fresno State Winery glass. Wine tasting is open to those 21 years of age with valid ID.

Seasonal produce available for sale at the store includes plums, peaches, pomegranates and Crimson grapes (red seedless). The Gibson Farm Market also sells student-produced dairy products, meat, nuts, jams, sauces and olive oil.
