Jesse Harper is totally stoked about this project...looking forward to helping his team of volunteers next spring!

Long-abandoned Center Township cemetery to get some TLC Center Township Trustee Jesse Harper stood Friday at the entrance to a wilderness he recently found is his responsibility to tackle.

Weather is forecast to turn about 15 minutes before we close today so come out NOW and don't miss your favorite vendors!

🐾 The dog days of summer are almost over…

Celebrate by bringing your best friend to the Edge of Liberty Craft Fair – August 9, 2026!

🐶 Stop by The Dog Mom at the Penny and the Pets booth for a little spa day with nail trims, ear cleaning, teeth brushing, and more.

🦴 Then spoil them with some amazing all-natural treats from Naturally Jack's.

Trust us—they’ll LOVE the farm. In fact, all of our walking trails were originally designed and approved by our resident redbone coonhound. 🐕

We even have a convenient dog waste station right next to a hand-washing station near the parking lot, so all you have to worry about is having a good time.

🐾 Dogs on leashes are always welcome!
