We enjoyed hosting the Morrow County Chamber of Commerce for the July Lunch and Learn this month!

Always great hearing from the local community and networking with other businesses. This month we heard from area professionals about real estate in the county, and enjoyed lunch catered by Sames & Cook.

Thank you to the Morrow County Chamber of Commerce for allowing us the honor of hosting!

✨VENDOR HIGHLIGHTS✨

Missy Mae Bakery | Dirty Shirk’s | A Message From Above Designs | Little Shack in the Woods | Dancing Threads

We are so excited to announce our vendors for our Summer Market Pop-Up Shop! Make sure to mark your calendar for Friday, July 18th from 4:00p until 8:30p to come shop with these local area businesses while enjoying the sights and sounds of the Friends of The Village Annual Car & Bike Show (Registration starts at 4p, Show officially starts at 5:30p).

It's a smaller Pop-Up Shop as we will be hosting the Car & Bike Show's registration in the back portion of our space from 4:00p until 5:30p, but make sure to come out and shop local... I'd love to hear that our vendors have sold out because of the turnout!

It's also a great time to stop out and see our venue if you are curious about the space. While the layout may be slightly different because of the vendor tables, you'll get a sense of what is included and how spacious the spot is. Whether you've never been in before, or you are in the middle of planning your upcoming event with us... come visit! We can't wait to see you!

Our Summer Pop-Up Shop Market is just one week away! Stay tuned for our Vendor Highlights coming out later today!

This Pop-Up Shop will take place during the Friends of The Village Annual Downtown Car & Bike Show, so make sure to check out their event for more details and make plans to stay out and enjoy all the cool cars, delicious eats, and great live music!

*Please note that S Main Street, between High & Marion Streets, will be closed starting at 3:00p for the Car Show, so you'll have to park in public parking lots and surrounding side streets!
