Are you a Cowboy Action Shooting enthusiast?
If so, you need to make a trip to visit River Ridge Leather Shop in Roscoe Village Ohio.
These two western holsters and gun belts (shown left and bottom right) were custom made at River Ridge Leather Co.
Both custom Cowboy Action shooting rigs were handmade from 100% premium bridle leather for rugged durability and authentic Western looks.
The holster at left was custom made for a single-action Smith & Wesson .357 revolver with a 5-inch barrel. The holster at bottom-right was custom made for a single-action Ruger .44 with a 6-inch barrel.
Each was cut by hand from oak-tanned bridle leather, then completely hand-tooled and hand-stitched for a custom fit. Both were made by shop owner Dennis Knight and hand carved by his journeyman apprentice, Tom Sesterhenn

Hummingbirds arrive in Roscoe Village
May 23, 2009 by Sam
Filed under Roscoe Village Shopping
Every year, around Memorial Day weekend, Hummingbirds begin to return to Roscoe Village Ohio.
Hummingbirds nest along our tree-lined Whitewoman Street and among the surrounding hills. They pollinate our prized Roscoe Village Pocket Gardens and buzz through The Garden Gate Shop to greet our shoppers.
Hummingbirds are among the most beautiful and mysterious of God’s creatures and we’re grateful to have them here. That’s why we take steps to attract and provide a healthy habitat for them in Historic Roscoe Village.
Did you know that you can easily attract Hummingbirds to visit your home every year?
Hummingbirds have amazingly high metabolic rates to support their unusual manner of flight and they must feed constantly and consume enormous amounts of food to survive from season to season.
In fact, to survive even one night, a Hummingbird must consume more than its weight in nectar — every single day.
Knowing that the busy, hungry Hummingbird is constantly searching for good food sources, you can begin to attract Hummingbirds to your home garden simply by providing them with a reliable and attactive food source.
Hummingbirds prefer very colorful nectar-producing flowers – especially those in the red, orange and pink range. Potted Geraniums and flowering Sage are among the best attractors for Hummingbirds, as are several annual flowering plants like Irises and Petunias.
In addition to nectar from colorful flowers, Hummingbirds need good sources of fresh water. One of the best
ways to provide them with a good water and food supply is to place an attractive Hummingbird Feeder in your garden.
To find out how to attract Hummingbirds to your garden, stop at The Garden Gate Shop on your next trip to Roscoe Village. We love to welcome these tiny creatures to our garden and we’ll be happy to show you how to bring them home to yours.

Quilt art exhibit opens at the JH Museum in Roscoe Village

Filed under Roscoe Village Events
The Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum in Roscoe VIllage Ohio is opening its newest exhibit on Saturday May 16.
Pushing The Surface is a biennial exhibit of 24 art quilts by renowned American and international quilt artists. The collection is displayed daily at the museum through August 9, 2009.
Unlike Grandma’s dusty old quilts, the textile art pieces in this exhibit fuse many techniques into the traditional craft of quilting with spectacular results – pushing the surface of traditional comfort to a new level of artistry.
Just like Grandma’s quilts, though, you can’t take a nap on these.
Instead, you should take the tour of the Pushing The Surface exhibit and see the J-H Museum’s amazing permanent exhibits and collections of Native American art, Ohio history, European decorative arts and weaponry all summer long.
Pushing The Surface opens Saturday May 16 and continues all summer long. For tours, tickets and a peek inside the amazing Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum in Roscoe Village Ohio click here.
WHEN YOU GO: Combine your tour of the quilt exhibit at the JH Museum, with a guided tour of Clary Gardens — the new public botanical garden around the corner from Historic Roscoe Village. Clary Gardens is open every day and tours are free. Call (740) 622-6524 if you need to be convinced about “free” and “open to the public.”
