This year’s Squash & Gobble will be unlike any other! Squash & Gobble is going virtual! THERE WILL BE NO IN-PERSON EVENT!

While we were deeply saddened to cancel this annual tradition, we felt it was in the best interest of everyone involved under the current restrictions. We, along with officials from the City of Greenville and the Muhlenberg County Health Department, explored many different options but concluded the social distancing requirements and limitations on gathering sizes would not allow an in-person event to take place responsibly.

However, we also understand that this is a difficult time for artisans, as many rely on shows like Squash & Gobble. With shows getting cancelled across the country, we want to provide the opportunity to showcase our artisans virtually! We are waiving the fee and will be creating a virtual event for people to shop your handmade and handcrafted items!

How will this event work?

*The event page will be published on Sept. 12th and will run until Sept. 26th.

*Once the event begins on Sept. 12th, our talented 2020 artisans will be listed below. If you see something you’re interested in, click “Shop” and you will be redirected to a page showcasing additional pictures.

*An online Facebook event has also be created to highlight artisans and do live videos or demonstrations.

*Shoppers can contact artisans with the contact information included on the individual artisan pages as well as on the Facebook posts to place an order.

*Artisans will be responsible for arranging the transaction (collecting payment, pickup, delivery, shipping, etc.)

Let’s do the DOCK TROT! The Muhlenberg County Tourism Commission is excited to bring back this FREE, family friendly event that features live entertainment on beautiful Lake Malone! The event is slated for Saturday, September 19th and will feature six (6) free concerts performed along the banks of the lake. The event will begin at 3:00 pm and finish with a grand finale firework display at 7:30 pm at the beach at Lake Malone State Park.

To enjoy the event, launch a watercraft and embark on a free musical journey. Cruise along the Dock Trot route, navigating the waters from dock to dock, to discover six locations where live concerts will be being performed. Anchor for a bit and enjoy the music, then motor on over to the next Dock Trot Stop to hear another talented group of musicians.

The 4+ hour event will feature a total of 6 bands, with 3 bands playing from 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm and 3 bands playing from 5:00 pm – 7:15 pm. This will give boaters plenty of time to take in all 6 bands if desired. Dock Trotters will be entertained with genres spanning from country to gospel and rock-n-roll to Bluegrass. The Dock Trot can be navigated from any direction and in any order, but to assist with the experience, each Dock Trot Stop has been color coded and a map will be developed outlining the concert destinations.

Featured Bands – 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm:
White Dock Trot Stop: “Higher Praise Quartet” with Cole Scott & Jackson Miller
Yellow Dock Trot Stop: Backroads Bluegrass”
