River Road Coffeehouse is proud to serve “Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream” in our Granville coffeehouse. This outstanding product is hand-made in nearby Columbus and the small family-owned and operated business has been the talk of the town since its founding in 2002.  We currently offer a selection of flavors in pint size take-home containers…and some of their famous ice cream sandwiches! We will soon be helping them to introduce an individual 6 ounce serving size for “enjoy at the coffeehouse” customers.   Check out all of our current flavors and more information about Jeni’s by going to our web site and clicking on “Other Stuff” and then “Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream.”

River Road Coffeehouse on 21st Street in Newark will host Fred McKinney on Wednesday, March 24 from 7 to 8:30 PM.

Singer-songwriter Fred McKinney has been singing and playing for over forty years, but only in the past several years has begun writing songs and performing “out,” with all original folk/country material. Living in the Ashland, OH, area, he has performed in coffee houses and libraries, at private parties, and for various groups and organizations. Additionally he was part of the Rootstock 2009 Concert at Cain Park in Cleveland and appeared on the radio program Just Plain Folk on 913 The Summit from Akron. He will charm you with songs of love and loss, make you cry, or maybe laugh out loud.
