There will be 51 vendors with booths outdoors and products from 65 vendors indoors. Parts of Cherry, Railroad and Vance Streets will be closed beginning at 6 a.m. for setup. The show will run from 9:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m.
The Swiss Community Historical Society (SCHS) will hold an open house on Saturday June 4, from 1:00-5:00 p.m. at the Schumacher Homestead. There will be children’s games—for the young and the young-at-heart. Highlights will include stilts, game of graces and hoop rolling.
The Homestead is near Bluffton and Pandora at 8350 Bixel Road.
Visitors may tour the mid-nineteenth century farmhouse, summer kitchen, garden, workshop and barn.
