Lehman’s, and our founder Jay Lehman, were recently featured in an article in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. The reporter compared trying to get Jay to talk about himself with “yanking a 31/2-inch nail out of petrified wood.” Still, she managed to get him to tell some pretty amazing stories about his life! Read the article and see photos of Jay and the store here.

Tune in this Saturday, September 12th at 11 a.m. (EST) to hear our own Jay Lehman, plus many Lehman’s products and lots of other local treasures, featured on Michael Feldman’s Whad-Ya Know radio show. 
This week’s show will be broadcast live from the College of Wooster in nearby Wooster (our county seat, located about 13 miles from our store in Kidron).
With an audience of about 1.5 million, Whad’Ya Know is one of National Public Radio’s most popular weekly shows. A great jazz band, audience participation, quizz shows and Feldman’s wacky, offbeat humor are the show’s hallmarks.
Check your local NPR listings, stream live from our local affiliate, wksu.org, or get more info at notmuch.com. It’ll be wild, weird and funny for sure!

We received dozens of responses to our photo caption contest a few weeks ago. There were so many clever and humorous suggestions, our staff had quite a time picking out our favorites. But we managed to narrow them down a bit, and without further ado, the winner of the $100 gift certificate is…

My name is Sue Steiner. I am an animal artist and for the last couple years I’ve been painting farm animal murals in the Buggy Barn at Lehman’s. I also help with scheduling arts and crafts demos at the store. I wanted to share with you some photos taken at Lehman’s during the second annual Local Artisan Festival on July 11th. By the looks of the crowd and the smiles on people’s faces this is the beginning of a really interesting and enjoyable regular yearly event! The visitors to the store not only enjoyed the arts and crafts demos but also lively music, good food, good company and gardening advise ! What’s not to love about that?
During this event we gathered together local artists and crafters thru the Ohio Arts and Crafts Guild to put on demonstrations and offer hands on activities for all ages. Our goal is to have demos that are informative as well as entertaining and also tie into the unique flavor of the store.
The Art Festival was an extension of what happens every week in the ‘Buggy Barn’ for most of the year. A few times a week you can see many of these same artists and crafters doing individual demos that range from fiber arts to pottery to farm animal mural painting to gourd birdhouses to wool rug hooking to garden crafts using recycled materials and many more.
To see what demos are scheduled in the Buggy Barn go to the Events Calendar at the top of this page.

So you’re in Amish country, looking for something fun to do. Here are some of the great things that I enjoyed when I visited Wayne and Holmes County recently. A good way to start your day in Amish country is by visiting the store Lehman’s, in Kidron. There’s lots of unique and fun things you can buy there that are sure to brighten up any day. If you are a child, or have children with you, there’s a huge toy selection and there are toys you can play with. Lots of their products are non-electric and eco-friendly like their wood burning stoves. The store is very big, which means there is a lot you can look at. You will see many things you thought weren’t made any more.
After you leave Lehman’s, head up the road to the store P. Graham Dunn in Dalton, where they make

Have you ever posted a tweet on Twitter? Written on a wall in Facebook? If you have, you can skip this article and go directly to our Facebook profile.
But if not, please read on. Because we want to reach you, our customer, when and how you want to be reached, we have always used technology. Yes, it’s true. We use high tech to sell low tech. Years ago it was adding phone lines. Then a toll-free fax. Today, of course, it involves computers. In our efforts to get products to you, a missionary couple in Uganada; or a hunter in a cabin in Michigan; or a second home owner vacationing in the Bahamas; or simply Mom looking for a rag doll just like she used to have, we have to be there.
So again we are embracing technology. Today this means Facebook, Twitter, blogging, YouTube and much more. I invite you to follow Galen, my brother and the president of Lehman’s, on his Twitter account and to keep up with us at our Facebook page. One of the best things about this new technology is that we can inititate a conversation. That’s right. Two-way communication between people. We’d love to hear from you!
