Did you know? Paid supporters get a reduced ad experience!
We know you value local news and entertainment that is free, open, and independent. Producing high-quality, paywall-free content isn't free. It takes time, effort, and resources to keep you informed and entertained. Unlike corporate media, we don’t have deep-pocketed investors or big advertisers funding our work—we rely on you, our readers and listeners, to keep Radio Free Hub City running. We're literally running on a shoe-string budget, but keep working hard to provide as much news and entertainment as we can.
If just 5% of local area residents became paid supporters at only $5 per month, we could meet our fundraising goals and continue expanding our news coverage depth while continuing to provide free access for everyone. So, if you'd like to help us in our continuing quest to improve our coverage, please consider becoming a paying supporter.
Will you be one of the 5%?
Thank you for supporting Radio Free Hub City!
The Community Yard Sale, running from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., will feature 72 independent vendors, each offering a unique assortment of goods. Whether you’re hunting for collectibles, household items, or something one-of-a-kind, this is a great opportunity for treasure hunters to explore a wide variety of items.
Starting later in the day, the Harvest Hoedown will begin at 11 a.m. and continue until 3 p.m., located near the North Pavilion area of Fairgrounds Park, adjacent to the soccer fields. A wide array of family-friendly activities is planned, making it a fun-filled day for all ages.
The first 1,000 children aged 12 and under who attend the Harvest Hoedown will receive a free pumpkin. Additional highlights include pumpkin painting, scarecrow making, face painting, hayrides from the Washington County Antique Tractor Club, and pony rides courtesy of Maryland Physicians Care. Visitors can also enjoy a petting zoo, balloon giveaways, archery, laser tag, a rock-climbing wall, as well as craft and food vendors.
