– Individuals who feel at risk or elderly individuals are asked to shop between 9am and 9:30am. Also, please check our website for vendors who accept pre-orders to shorten your time at the Market.
– Currently the market is not meant for social gathering. Please take your time to select your food and exit the market grounds. Also, consider minimizing the amount of family members coming to the market at one time.

– If you are not comfortable with the current COVID-19 guidelines but still want to shop the Market, we have a list of vendors who accept preorders on our website. Preordering is a way to quickly pop in and leave the market with less exposure to the public.

160 mile paddle from Mount Vernon Ohio to Marietta Ohio. We would like to dedicate the 2020 paddle in honor of Williams R. Gains Jr. William R. Gaines Jr., was killed in the Beirut Bombing on October 23, 1983 as one of the Marine peacekeepers just five days after turning 21. Bill wrote home with the following lines just a month prior to his death: “I believe in our mission here, I believe we belong here; this is a matter of principle, not politics or money or even lives. It’s the principle of freedom, of peace for the majority. If I die in the process, I feel that I would have died for a good reason.” If you would like to donate please follow the below link.

The paddle includes five nights of camping with stops at Terry’s Tavern in Zanesville and campgrounds along the way.
