==Flea market== Since 1955, Rogers has been home to Rogers Community Auction and Flea Market. One of the largest [[flea market]]s in Ohio, it is an open-air market held year-round, sitting on {{convert|250|acre|m2}} of land.<ref name="WFMJ" /> The market has an assortment of vendors including produce, clothing, novelties, and antiques. The market has more than 1,600 vendors' spaces, 350 of which are covered; no admission fee; and more than {{convert|70|acre|m2}} of free parking. It is located off [[Ohio State Route 154]], with access also available from [[Ohio State Route 7]].
