West Virginia might be tough to navigate, but there’s no excuse for not making it somewhere in a few hours drive. So, it’s time to DO SOMETHING this weekend West Virginia!
Here’s your first installment of a new, weekly guide to do stuff from Vandaleer.com.
Autumn Harvest Festival and West Virginia Roadkill Cook-off
Friday and Saturday
The West Virginia RoadKill Cook-off is one of the region’s most fun and exciting annual events. In years past, the Food Network, the Travel Channel and the Discovery Channel have all covered this wild and offbeat festival! If you’ve ever wanted to taste exotic dishes like squirrel gravy over biscuits, teriyaki-marinated bear or deer sausage, this is the place to be!
Friday, Saturday and Sunday
The Heritage Weekend Festival is 63 years old this year. This event started with a dream of a few good people in Hardy County as a way of raising money for the public library, the hub of every small town. Last year was a great success and we were able to contribute nicely to the library. That is our goal again this year.
Heritage weekend is a unique event and is the only countrywide fair or festival in West Virginia and we sure have something for everyone. Hardy County is seeping in American History and we are trying to preserve it by showing the younger generation what is was like living here in bygone days. Each year a historical home is highlighted and profiled on a decorative tile. We are pleased to announce this year’s tile house, Garret VanMeter House.
Come participate and enjoy the food, music, arts, craft show, car show, homes tours, walking tours, civil war encampments, historic church services, historic clothing display, train ride, kid activities and so much more that will take place throughout Hardy and Grant Counties.
