Is the Christmas season its biggest time of year? We are actually busy from May to December because we are in Historic Roscoe Village, which attracts thousands of people to Coshocton each year.

What have been some of the best-selling items so far this holiday season? In November, our biggest sellers were Mill Creek Homestead candles and bath items, Rusty Plow Press T-shirts, Annin Flags, Pine Gap Woodworks ornaments and Tana's Tasty Treats buckeyes.

Why is shopping local important? Shopping at local stores like the Coshocton Supply Co.  gives buyers the chance to acquire unique, locally made items. The money they spend stays right here in Coshocton.
