Market accepting SFMNP benefits
The Coshocton Farmers Market is now accepting Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program benefits for fresh produce and honey.
Benefit recipients need to bring their account QR code either on their smart device / cellphone, their benefit card or printed from their account.
The SFMNP is sponsored by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, the Ohio Department of Agriculture and the Area Agency on Aging. It is meant to benefit not only low-income senior citizens by providing funds to buy fresh produce and honey, but also the small local farmers who sell their products at farmers markets. Fresh produce has been limited to lettuce, greens and onions due to the cool weather, but more variety is expected soon including strawberries.
The Coshocton Farmers Market is located at Skip’ s Landing, 22375 County Road 1A, Coshocton, and is open Saturdays from 8:30 a. m. to noon through the end of October.
Chardon Polka Band will return to the artPARK
The Chardon Polka Band will return to the artPARK on Friday, May 30. Tim Cohen will start the street dance party at 7 p. m. with a free polka crash dance class. Music will start at 8 p. m.
In 2003, 16-year-old Jake Kouwe was told there was no place for an accordion in his local high school’ s marching band. In response Kouwe recruited a group of five teenagers to form a genuine oompah-style polka band. This group, known as The Chardon High School Polka Band, included in the lineup an accordion, tuba, clarinet, saxophone, electric guitar and trumpet.
Now 22 years later, the band continues. What was once a high school project has turned into a career. Though the band’ s membership has changed a few times over the years, their style has never wavered.
The Chardon Polka Band will return to the artPARK on Friday, May 30.
The group performs at local parks, festivals, parades, parties, fundraisers and regularly at local nursing homes. The polka
Customer band has a faithful fan base, ranging from senior citizens to small children, teens and 20-somethings. There will be plenty
