The rain is holding off this Saturday, which means it's the perfect time to get outside and enjoy the Independence Farmers' Market, hosted at the Historic Kenton County Courthouse.

Last year, the Fiscal Court completed construction on a permanent home for the farmers' market right behind our historic courthouse. There's plenty of onsite parking available so you can shop and enjoy tons of homegrown Kenton County products.

The Farmers' Market runs each Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

We're urging everyone to stay alert while in the heat, as temperatures are soaring. Please keep an eye out for children and pets left in vehicles. Even a few minutes can be deadly in this heat.
If you see a child or pet alone in a car and in distress, call 911 immediately. Let’s look out for one another, especially the most vulnerable.
