Perry County Coon Club spring market to feature vendors and food trucks
More than 380 people had already shown interest in the Coon Club’s spring market, a full-day Tell City event with vendors, antiques and food trucks.
More than 380 people had already marked interest in the Perry County Coon Club spring market, a sign that the rural shopping format was drawing attention before a single booth opened at 10624 Sunflower Road in Tell City. The market ran Saturday, May 30, 2026, from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. CDT and brought together local vendors, handmade crafts, antiques, flea market finds and food trucks under one county venue.
The event was presented by the Perry County Coon Club and listed by Discover Southern Indiana with contact information for Herbie and Debbie Landers at 812-449-6679 and hlandersjr@psci.net. Pick Perry County and the Perry County Convention and Visitors Bureau also carried the market, signaling that it was being treated as more than a private club gathering. For Tell City residents and other Perry County shoppers, the market offered a full day of local buying close to home instead of a trip out of county for similar goods.
That mix matters in a county of 19,170 people, where Perry County’s own government says the Ohio River lines the southern border, Highway 66 is part of the Ohio River Scenic Byway and Interstate 64 cuts across the northern portion of the county. In that setting, a market like this serves a practical purpose: it gives small sellers a low-barrier place to reach customers, and it gives shoppers a chance to find crafts, repurposed pieces and casual food in one stop. For vendors, the day was a chance to turn handmade items and surplus goods into direct sales. For customers, it was a chance to browse local goods without leaving the county seat.
The Coon Club’s role also showed how local properties can double as community space when they open their grounds to a wider mix of public events. The venue at 10624 Sunflower Road has appeared in county event calendars beyond the spring market, reinforcing its place in a local calendar built around face-to-face gatherings, not large-scale festivals. In a county created in 1814 and named for Oliver Hazard Perry, that kind of event keeps commerce and community tied closely to the same place.
