This year we’re continuing our weekly look at unique events and attractions that are within an easy driving distance of Richland County. For the first time in two years, we’re sharing events taking place in-person, although by all means please all ahead and verify what social distancing, masking, etc. We call these Summer Road Trips.
Of course, we regularly feature the many extraordinary places to visit right here in Richland County and encourage our readers to get out and experience what is on offer in our own backyard.
There’s nothing Michigan-esque or Indiana-ish during the Made in Ohio Art & Craft Festival.
The 12th annual edition, coming on September 2-4 (10 AM to 5 PM each day) at Hale Farm & Village in Bath, will feature a juried selection of Ohio artisans, local food, entertainment and all that Hale Farm & Village has to offer. Vendors include jewelry artists, potters, woodworkers, glass artists, soap and lotion makers, quilters, and a variety of other unique artisans.
Visitors can eat at Hale Farm or at any of the participating food vendors serving local foods and snacks such as ice cream, salads, bakery, sandwiches and kettle corn.
