Black Sheep Celebrating 30 Years in Ashland

It’s good to see some stability in downtown Ashland, and as The Black Sheep (upstairs on the Plaza at 51 N. Main) celebrates its 30th year in business, it has gradually become an institution. Owners Clarinda and Jon Merripen, who bought the popular British-styled pub in 2017 from Susan Chester, have kept the tradition going with the same great food served in a bar-like atmosphere with a TV in the corner and plenty of events that make it a fun place for the entire family.

It’s been a long two-year endeavor, but the comprehensive effort of “smart development” takes time and lots of patience, but we believe it’s worth the effort. Beach Creek will be not only an asset to our community, but a very livable and sustainable community for generations to come.

Main in Ashland and 165 E. California in Jacksonville), they have succeeded beyond their wildest dreams.
