Clark County Courier: Marshall

Clark County Courier: Marshall The Marshall Advocate is proud to provide local newspaper coverage of Marshall, Martinsville, West Union, West York, Hutsonville and the surrounding areas.

Strohm Newspapers, Inc. traces its humble beginnings back to a 4-page monthly tabloid newpaper known as the West Union Shopper-Gazette. Founders Gary and Melody Strohm had moved their young family to the West Union area and felt that the area needed a source of factual information. With the encouragement of Joe and Pat McCammon, owners of the Marshall Choice, the couple started a monthly tabloid n

ewspaper in 1993 to accomplish this goal. Their equipment consisted of a 486 computer, copier and laser printer and layout table-all in their bedroom. In 1994 they began to publish the Shopper-Gazette weekly and added another small tabloid, the Martinsville Gazette, which was also printed weekly. In November of 1996 the couple started a weekly tabloid newspaper, the Marshall Advocate, to serve the Marshall area. Two years later the format was changed to broadsheet. Throughout this time, the newspapers were distributed free and the young company relied on advertisements for income. The staff of Strohm Newspapers strives to pack each issue with local news and features.

☀️ 🍋 What a great evening at the Marshall Farmers Market last night! Despite the hot and humid weather, the scene was alive with excitement as the community gathered to sip unique lemonades and check-out the incredible stands crafted by our young entrepreneurs. These kids have been hard at work, just like the seasoned vendors who set up weekly, designing and building their creations from scratch.

“Cousin’s Countryside” came together with its charming country flair, “Nat Nat’s” was a labor of love with its playful setup, and “Marvelous Lemonade” dazzled with superhero-inspired details—all while prepping delicious flavors from traditional to hulk flavors.

From planning to painting to perfecting their recipes, these young kids are on their way to becoming the next generation of business builders.

Just around the corner, the street was lined with new and returning vendors with items from fresh vegetables, baked goods, homemade items, local meat and honey so you could sip and shop before sitting back to listen to the Marshall City Band rounding out the night with their Christmas in July event!

The Marshall SheCats 8U showcased their spirit at the USSSA Great Lakes Nationals in Evansville, Indiana with great performances! In their matchup against Kentucky Chrome 2017 8U, Ledger R’s double and Scarlett P’s groundout each drove in a run in the first. Adelyn G’s three-RBI homer in the third fueled a rally, and Brooke D went 2-for-2, leading the team’s nine hits. Despite flawless fielding, with Finley J handling six chances, they fell 16-6.

Against ProX Phoenix Kirkham 8U, the SheCats’ bats exploded for 19 hits! Scarlett P went 3-for-3 with a triple, while Ledger R’s triple and Lainey S’s single tied the game in the second. Finley J’s two-RBI double sparked a five-run fifth, briefly taking an 11-9 lead. Scarlett, Bria H, and Akstynn C each notched three hits, and Adelyn G led with eight fielding plays, keeping the defense error-free. Though ProX surged late for a 15-11 win, the SheCats’ fight was undeniable!

At the time of this post, we were waiting to hear when they played next. If you can’t make it to cheer them on, you can always follow them on GameChanger!
