A Cowboy Cooking Experience and a Ladies’ Night Out to Welcome the Season
Spring always brings a fresh reason to plan a day trip, and Lehman’s in Kidron is adding to the fun. They are kicking off the season with two events that feel equal parts fun, hands-on, and memorable. Whether you want to hear stories from a real-life cowboy cook or spend an evening laughing with friends, these events offer two very different ways to experience one of Ohio’s most loved destinations.
Meet Cowboy Chef Kent Rollins
Kent Rollins returns to Lehman’s for a lively outdoor program that blends storytelling, cooking tips, and a good dose of humor. Doors open at 10:00 am on April 25, with the main presentation taking place from 10:30 to 11:30 am.
As a cowboy, chuck wagon cook, and storyteller, Rollins is known for his down-home approach to traditional Western cooking. Alongside his wife Shannon, he co-created the popular Cowboy Kent Rollins YouTube channel, which now reaches more than 3.5 million followers with cast-iron recipes, ranch-style meals, and the history behind the food.
Throughout the program, Rollins brings the kind of energy that turns a simple demonstration into true entertainment. His easygoing style, stories from life on the range, and cooking tips have made him a favorite with home cooks across the country.
After the presentation wraps up, the experience continues with a relaxed meet-and-greet and book signing until 1:00 PM. Cookbooks, seasonings, and select merchandise will be available for purchase, making it simple to take a little inspiration home. For full details, visit the Lehman’s event page.
Altogether, the morning feels like part cooking class, part storytelling hour, and part community gathering.
Spring Ladies Night Out: A Creative Evening at Lehman’s
Lehman’s annual Spring Ladies Night Out offers a completely different kind of experience. This is the only Ladies Night scheduled for March 19, 2026, and it transforms the store into an after-hours celebration featuring activities, samples, and time to browse at your own pace.
Guests receive a gift bag upon arrival, including a $10 coupon to use that evening; the fun begins. Make-and-take stations invite you to try candle making, planting, pickling, and more. Demonstrations take place throughout the store, and a curated food spread keeps everyone fueled as they shop and mingle.
BINGO in the Buggy Barn adds to the fun. Prizes and a photo booth allow groups to capture the night together. Thus making it a great evening with friends or family.
2026 Cupcake Tour
Celebrate spring on May 1-2, with a sweet self-guided tour through beautiful Wayne County, Ohio! The Cupcake Tour features several charming local retailers, each offering a gourmet cupcake and an exclusive in-store offer.
Begin your tour at Lehman’s and explore participating favorites, including Eastwood Furniture, The Pine Cone Gift Shop, The Bouquet Shop, Journey in Time, East Union Bulk Foods, and Skylar Brook Farms, along with additional local stops.
Your Ticket Includes:
- 1 individually packaged gourmet cupcake from different bakeries. One cupcake per retailer.

This is a self-guided experience. A ticket is required to receive a cupcake at each location.
