Did you know that nearly one-third of all food produced globally is wasted each year? This staggering statistic underscores the critical importance of how we think about, produce, and consume food. World Food Day, observed annually on October 16th, serves as a vital reminder to address issues of hunger, food security, and sustainable agriculture worldwide. But beyond raising awareness, how can individuals and communities creatively engage with this day to make a meaningful impact?

October 16 has long been a date marked by transformative events that have rippled across global history. One of the most impactful global events on October 16 took place in 1918, toward the end of World War I. On this day, the Allied powers and the Central Powers were moving closer to an armistice, which would eventually be signed on November 11, 1918. While the armistice came weeks later, October 16 marked a period of intense negotiations and battlefield actions that fundamentally shifted the course of the war. The efforts to bring peace during this time set the stage for the Treaty of Versailles and the geopolitical reshaping of Europe. Looking further back, on October 16, 1793, the French Revolution was at a critical juncture. Queen Marie Antoinette was executed by guillotine in Paris, a symbolic moment that underscored the intense social and political upheaval sweeping France. Her death marked the end of an era for the French monarchy and signaled the rise of radical republicanism

ALTON - Graceful Treasures will host their second monthly flea market this weekend. From 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 18, 2025, community members can stop by the red warehouse at the Milton Schoolhouse, where Graceful Treasures will host the market. Kimberly Grace, owner of Graceful Treasures, noted that the flea market is a great chance for vendors to sell their items and people to check out everything they have to offer. “By doing something like this, it’s a little bit easier than organizing an actual yard sale,” Grace said. “Yard sales are a lot of work. People are down to bring a table and sell their wares. It’s easy.” Grace noted that they will welcome over 20 vendors to the flea market. The warehouse will be completely full of people selling their items, with everything from vintage glass to Halloween and Christmas decorations. “I’m busting at the seams,” she joked. Graceful Treasures held its first flea
