Rogers Community Auction and Flea Market unveils new venue to mark 70 years
ROGERS, Ohio - The Rogers Community Auction and Flea Market is celebrating their 70th Anniversary this Independence Day by unveiling a new concert and event venue.
The Backyard Live is located on the market's west end, featuring an outdoor stage, green space, a bar, and merchandise.
"We've created a brand new venue, the Backyard, and we want it to be just like everyone else's backyard," manager Colton Hall said.
The venue is stacking their debut season, with Runaway June to perform on August 22, and Kyle Ray set for September 19.
Country artist and hit songwriter CJ Solar is headlining the Backyard's kickoff and is expected to take the stage at 8pm.
The Rogers Community Auction and Flea market hopes the venue will continue to draw in excitement for decades to come.
"As the years have progressed, more and more is done online," co-owner Connie Hughart said. "The Backyard is our way of getting back to that community socializing, and you can only enjoy the Backyard in person."
