The Eighteenth Annual Holmes County Rails-to-Trails Benefit Auction will be held on Saturday, June 10th at the Harvest Ridge, 8880 SR 39, Millersburg. “We are so grateful for the community support for our event and the Holmes County Trail,” said Jen Halverson, Director of the Holmes County Rails-to-Trails Coalition. She continued, “Harvest Ridge has been a great location for our event. It offers plenty of vehicle parking, but we have also been able to designate areas for hitching horses and parking buggies and bikes. We have partnered with Pomerene Hospital again to offer shuttle service from the Millersburg Depot to Harvest Ridge for those that would prefer to not travel on SR 39 with their bikes or buggies”
For those using the Holmes County Trail to attend the auction there will be a couple different ways to arrive. Those wishing to go the entire way to Harvest Ridge via bike or buggy may use the bridge across the Killbuck Creek to the Old Fairgrounds. A path will be designated with signage through the old Fairgrounds to CR 349, which will lead to State Route 39. Then Harvest Ridge is only 0.6 of mile on SR 39. Hitching rails, buggy, and bike parking will be available auction day at Harvest Ridge, along with vehicle parking.
Shuttle service will also be provided from the Millersburg Depot for those wishing to park their bikes and buggies at the Millersburg Depot. The Shuttle service will be provided by Pomerene Hospital and will begin at 7:30am. The service will shuttle auction attendees between Harvest Ridge and the Millersburg Depot throughout the day.
The auction begins at 9:30 am and will include locally made furniture, quilts, plants, lawn mowers, grills, tools, swing set, and buggies. At noon the specialty items will be sold including a white oak timber frame pavilion, greenhouse, and grain bin gazebo.
The day’s events will also include breakfast, bake sale, silent auction, bbq chicken, and ice cream. For more information please contact the Holmes County Trail
