We went from Welshfield north on state Route 700 to Burton and stopped in the square at the Chamber of Commerce Log Cabin for maple products. We took a fast look at Middlefield Cheese on state Route 608 North but missed the newer Amish cooperative toward Mespo. The two communities claim to be Ohio's secondlargest Amish settlement. Burton will offer the Great Geauga Antique Market on Saturday at the fairgrounds north of the square. Rain or shine, several hundred sellers will ring the race track.
Parking is free.
Next year's sales will be June 7 and Sept. 13. Mespo's 1997 ox roast comes July 4-6. Another Civil War Days doesn't arrive until Sept. 19-20, 1998. That is held every other year.
