Farmer's Market will return on Sunday, June 9th!!

Brunswick Farmers Market

The weather is finally warming up a bit so it's time to start thinking about the Farmers Market. It will open on June 9th and run through Oct. 13, 2019. Most, if not all of the vendors will be returning and we've added some new folks as well.

One of the new vendors is Union Barbecue. Here's what they would like you to know, "Union Barbecue is a Brunswick based barbecue company that is run by three life-long friends all residing in Medina County. Two are life-long Medina and Brunswick residents and love to spend time with our families in the cities. Our head cook is Casey Kulas who is known in the area for his work on ESPN Sports Radio and his appearances on the Rizzo Show on Fox 8 promoting his cooking. We are registered with the state and insured. We have been around since August 2017 and have done fundraisers in Medina at the VFW hall previously for those in need. We care about our community and wish to primarily serve the Medina County residents. We are recognized for our brisket, pulled pork, ribs and chicken but are always working to add new plates and sides."

Another new vendor is BoBell Cheese Company of Burbank. Click this link to an article about them.

Of course, many other vendors will be there as well, including many of your old favorites. Please come out and visit this Sunday and every Sunday!!

If you are interested in becoming a vendor, please call 330-441-0292 or send an email to brunswickAreaHistory@gmail.com.

Volunteers Needed!

Do you have a history with Edwards and/or Visintainer schools? Did you attend or were you employed at either building? Both buildings will be razed in 2020 and the Brunswick Area Historical Society is trying to preserve and recreate a portion of them with a new building at Heritage Farm, 4613 Laurel Road.

Once the buildings start to come down, we will be selling bricks with certificates so you can keep a physical memory of the building. But in the meantime, we need to raise funds to build the new structure.

We are partnering with Brunswick High graduate Chad Gibson and his team at Bunker Hill Golf Course for our golf outing fundraiser.

If you can devote an hour or two of your time to network with others and spread the word about our golf outing next spring, we can use your help.

To succeed, Chad is asking us to find additional volunteers to accomplish our goals. If you are interested in being a part of preserving our local history, and want to make an impact on our community, Chad says that with a little bit of help from an army of volunteers we can make a significant difference.

Please Join us at 3:30 p.m. June 9 at Bunker Hill to learn more about what we have planned and to decide if you’d like to be part of this great event. We encourage you to invite others to the meeting and spread the word. We greatly appreciate any and all help.

Keep the Doors to the Past OPEN!

Edwards Middle School is scheduled for demolition in 2020

Our plan is to save the front entrances of the Edwards building and move them to Heritage Farm. We will incorporate them into a new building where we will recreate an old classroom and house historic school documents. UPDATE: We have received approval on the new building and plans are moving ahead at full speed. We will be announcing some fund raisers in the near future, but you can help any time by donating using the Donate Now button below.
