The Country Market, launched about 50 years ago, has been held for the past 25 years on a 9.6-acre Loyalhanna Watershed Association property off of Route 30 in Ligonier Township.

More on the country marketThe watershed association, Huba said, is willing to negotiate, but only after market organizers respond to a draft of a new lease presented Oct. 29. “We’re both willing to work on it, but we left that in their court, as far as presenting the lease,” Huba said. The watershed association made $4,577 in rental property income in 2024, according to its nonprofit tax filing.
