В Меридиане пройдет осенний фестиваль Earth's Bounty с бесплатными перекусами для школьников

Venture into the fall season with Earth’s Bounty Published 7:10 pm Tuesday, September 1, 2026 As Summer winds down, and kids load their backpacks to head back to school, Earth’s Bounty is prepared to help with school lunches and after-school snacks for hungry students. Start the school year right on Saturday, Sept. 5 at the Courtyard at the MAX. Vendors will be offering an array of products — homemade snacks and treats the youngsters will love. Everything from cookies to roasted nuts to trail mix is available from vendors, with quality products and flavors far exceeding store snacks that sit on shelves for months. Another change comes from the Master Gardeners, who are in the process of locating to a permanent facility. For now, they will be at the festival with a limited number of plants for sale, plus some educational materials to encourage young people to become growers and carry on the joy of gardening. While you’re shopping, Meridian’s Terry Cherry will be entertaining on the MAX stage. A well-known visual artist, whose works grace thousands of walls, Terry has added music to his repertoire as he plays and sings for audiences around the area. All of this is Saturday, Sept. 5 from 8 a.m.-noon at The MAX Courtyard in downtown Meridian.
