Behind the Scenes

One of the interesting aspects of Fox's Market House Restaurant that brings in a lot of business is Steven Garner. Steve is a local gentleman who graduated from Central Mountain High School in 2011 and continued on to Graduate from the Pennsylvania School of Technology in 2013. In college, he duel majored in Accounting and Finance. After graduation, Steve landed a job at a prestige accounting firm that is out of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and he works at the State College Pennsylvania branch. In his spare time, he plays piano at weddings, birthday parties, multiple churches, and most importantly, Fox's Restaurant. Steve plays at the restaurant every Tuesday night, Thursday night, Friday night, and during the Sunday morning brunch after he plays at his church. There are some customers that come specifically on the nights that Steve plays piano just to see him, rather than for the reason of them loving the food at Fox's. Steve plays a wide variety of music ranging from classics from the 60's, to modern songs from today, as well as festive songs during the holidays.
Another aspect of Fox's  that draws a large crowd into the restaurant are the auctions that are held every other Saturday morning in the back room of the building. Matthew Clark, the owner of Fox's, rents out the back warehouse space in the restaurant to Dick Hevner, a local auctioneer. While the auction is being held, people who are attending the auction can order breakfast food from the kitchen. Many people even come in and eat breakfast or lunch at the restaurant after the auction is over.
