The 1st Annual Running of the Goats will celebrate the first day of the Covington Farmers Market — and there’ll be T-Shirts, as well as farmers, purveyors, live music, mini massages, a free Mommy & Me yoga class . . .and a lot more.
The famous Goebel Goats will be making their way from the Farmers Market on 3rd and Court street to their summer home in Gobble Par by trotting through the streets of Covington.
The market will be open from 9 a.m to 1 pm.
Go early for your Mother’s Day gifts — beautiful plants, flowers, herbs, handmade soaps (yes, goat milk soap) and baked goodies galore.
See details at Covington Farmers Market website.
Around 1 p.m. all the famous Goebel Goats from the market will run, walk, stroll, mosey . . .in an organized route through Covington, guided by goat team volunteers and the City of Covington Police Department to their summer home at Goebel Park.
