LEWISBURG -

What better way to welcome fall than with apple cider, live music and pumpkins!

This Saturday the Greenbrier Valley Farmers Market is holding an Autumn Celebration with all of those things.

And the WVU Extension office will also be there to offer information on food preservation, tips on how to safely prepare food, and also help encourage families to eat together for National Family Eat Together Month.

WVU Extension Office Member Kay Davis said, "There's some research out there that tells you when families sit down together they consume less calories, they eat more healthy food, and the kids develop more positive habits."

The WVU Extension Office will be giving out family conversation starters and placemats to encourage families to eat together.

The Autumn celebration will be Saturday, September 22nd at the Farmer's Market in Lewisburg from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
