They collect food and sell food. Members of the Liberty Belles and Boys 4H Club held numerous signs at the corner of Main and Lincoln on Saturday trying to get motorists to stop and either give food or purchase bake goods.

What kind of gnarly cucumber is this? Shahnaj Begum holds a bitter melon, not a cucumber at all, grown from seed from her native Bangladesh. She tends the Village Garden, sponsored by ReStore, and located behind Liberty National Bank. The bitter melon, she explains, is fried with rice, oil, and onion for a spicy dish. She grows the typical American foods such tomatoes and beans, but another Asian food found in her garden is a type of sweet pumpkin not found here. It's not grown for Halloween, for there is no such observance of witchy/goblins in her country.
