The 4th Annual “Hutch” Hitchinson's Legacy Poker Ride to benefit Haven Hospice will be Saturday, Oct. 11, all vehicles welcome. And the ride happens come rain or shine.

The ride is organized by friends of Hutchinson, a biker who organized rides to raise funds for community projects and who died in a tragic accident in Homestead in 2010. All proceeds from the run will stay in the Tri-County Area served by Haven.

The top prize for the best hand in the ride is a three-night stay at the Blue Ridge Motorcycle Campground.

The Chiefland Farmers Market returns to the Old Depot Park/ Trailhead Park in south Chiefland on U.S. Highway 19/98 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Local farmers and vendors will be on hand with everything from pet pigeons to ducks, goats, eggs, soap, jams, jellies, meats and produce — including new Wacky Dos for those who need a new look.

The market, sponsored by the City of Chiefland and organized by the Greater Chiefland Area Chamber of Commerce, is on the second and fourth Saturdays of the month at the park.

Expiration date labeling on food products is a source of confusion for consumers according to a new survey from NSF International, a global public health and safety organization.  The survey found that people are confused about how to interpret dates on food packaging such as expiration, “best used by” and “sell by” dates, causing many to keep some food dangerously long or prematurely throw away good food.
