 Good one Patty!
Fishing on Big and Little Clear Creek. Muskie's in Meadow River have taken all the fish there. Those aren't towns but I had to throw those out here because Mr. B said so... |

'Squat 'n Dodge' ( I think that's close!)
For those of you that do remember where it is, Be careful...Someone may ask what you were doing up there? |

| Clifftop: yes, Jessica, they have the "Doo-Wop Music Festival" there every year and have had it for many years. It has grown yearly. There is also a major bluegrass festival near Summersville every year. Our own Harrieta Erskine Ramsey's daughter, Carmella, was "discovered" there by Patty Loveless and is now a major musician, back-up singer in Nashville. |

Hi Jessica,
Would you be thinking about the outdoor festivals they have at Camp Washington Carver?
I believe they still have a huge Blue Grass Festival there during the summer, but unfortunatly, they haven't had Doo-Wop for several years---that was terrific! A whole evening of oldies music done by the original artists in a large open field. They would have a Classic Car show in the afternoon and then the concert at night. Most everyone would take lawn chairs, blankets and picnic lunches and spend the entire day over there. They also had concessions, horse shoe pitching, games for the children and lunch and dinner available in the Lodge. That huge field was packed with people, mostly baby boomers...I just don't think our age group will ever grow up---and that's a good thing! I think the Blue Grass Festival drew as many people but I never attended those.
They were also having dinner shows in the lodge.
Does anyone know if they are still having any events over there this year??? |

| Patty: I googled the Doo-Wop festival and the WV Culture website states that Doo-Wop was discontinued, apparently quite recently (years). I did find that the Appalachian Stringband Festival takes place at Camp Carver every summer. That festival attracts musicians from many states. |

Randy,
The Ramp dinners are all around us....they are at every town....The Moose club in Rainelle has one every year...
Do you guys from out of state remember the ramps...?
I myself have never ate a ramp....just smelled them.........I could always tell while working in the store when the ramps were up...

| It isn't a festival but isn't the annual "Ride to the Wall" gathering of motorcycles going to the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington, DC the end of May? - the weekend stopover in Rainelle |
