Before You Go

  • Secure and tarp loose items and tie up branches so nothing blows out while waiting in line or driving through.
  • Wear sturdy shoes and expect mud or dust depending on recent weather; the ground around the working area can be uneven.
  • If bringing a trailer or truck, approach slowly and be ready to maneuver into a pull-through spot-busy days can back traffic onto New Paris Pike.
