If you're a local food fan (you're reading this, so presumably you are) what is even scarier on October 31 than Halloween? In all but a very few hardy cases, it marks the end of the Chicago region's outdoor farmers market season.

There are still markets that will be open during October's last week, but for most, it will then be see you next year.

Don't miss a chance to get some beautiful food, and if you go, take a moment to thank a farmer.
