Souvenir stands capitalize on visitors here to see Trump

QUINCY (WGEM) - Entrepreneurs hope to cash-in on Trump’s visit to Adams County this weekend.

People from as far away as North Carolina have set-up souvenir stands along Broadway Street in Quincy.

Locals are getting in on the action, too. David Kerfman, of Mount Sterling, came to Quincy to sell t-shirts, hats and other merchandise.

“Everything that comes to us either goes back to the campaigns or it goes toward marketing for our next event, so that we can bring other MAGA candidates to our area to speak,” Kerfman said.

Kerfman said he’ll be packing up the stand in Quincy tonight and he’ll return to Brown County after the weekend to continue selling.
