53rd Annual Event Scheduled for Sept. 16-18
The 53d annual Mountain State
Art & 'Craft Fair is scheduled for
Sept. 16-18 at the Cedar Lakes
Conference Center near Ripley.
The beloved West Virginia
tradition has become an autumn
' celebration of the state's rich and
diverse heritage.
"We're calling it 'An Appalachian
Experience, because the Fair
represents the best of Appalachian
culture," said Karen Facemyer, the
event's president. "The art, food and
music you nd in West Virginia is
distinctive and exceptional. We're
showcasing these amazing talents."
The Fair will explore West
Virginia's varied traditions with
areas highlighting Celtic, German,
Italian, Swiss and American
influences. It also includes
interactive artisan booths allowing
guests to learn about stained glass,
basket weaving, broom making and
much more.
The villages will feature culinary
offerings that match each theme,
along with craft beer and wine
samplings. Musical acts
representing the wide range of
cultures will provide live
soundtracks for the village
experiences, while acts such as
Johnny Staats & The Delivery Boys
and the Lilly Mountaineers take the
main stage.
Historical actors playing Chief
Cornstalk, Harriet Tubman and
other gures central toAppalachia's
story are among the special Student
Day visitors on Sept. 16. Third and
fourth graders will experience
tailored entertainment and
educational presentations from 9
a.m. to 1 p.m. that day.
"The Fair is taking advantage of
the region's most beautiful season,"
Facemyer said. "Temperatures are
a bit cooler, and school is in session,
allowing us the chance to involve
hundreds of students and expose the
next generation to Appalachian
traditions. ,
"So many throughoutpthe state
and region treasure the Fair,"
Facemyer said. "It's an invaluable
tradition, and now it's been
reenergized. We're excited to present
a rejuvenated and wonderful event
that will be a West Virginia staple
for decades to come."
Artisans who exhibit at the Fair
come from the Appalachian region
and are selected by a jury of craft
experts.
"All the art represents some form
of traditional br contemporary
Appalachian expression, and the
products are as authentic as the
people," Facemyer said.
The annual Quilt Show is open
throughout the Fair. Ribbons are
awarded for three categories of bed
quilts, along with co-op quilts, wall
quilts and "people's choice."
Fair hours are 9 a.m. to p.m.

Do You Know How The
(NAPS)- Did you know that for
every four people in the world,
there is one pig? Not only are hogs
an important part of agriculture,
but they can also be used to
increase our understanding of the
enormous value of commodities.
How is that, you may ask?
Through 4-H and CME Group s
Commodity Carnival, an educa
tional fair experience that will
visit more than 100 state and
county fairs in nine states this
summer. Now in its third year, the
Commodity Carnival returns to
teach youth about the economics
of agriculture via an interactive
game that guides players through
the process of raising and bring
ing a hog to market.
Fairs have been mainstays of
America s heartland since the
18403, and our CME Grbup her-
itage in commodities markets goes
back almost as far. We are pleased
to return to these fairs with our
, Commodity Carnival game to
teach young agriculture partici-
pants the importance of risk man
agement, said CME Group Exec
utive Chairman and President
Terry Duffy, With 4-H, we are
able to reach young audiences and
provide them the tools to kick
start their thinking about food
production and the risks that
farmers and ranchers face
knowledge that will become cru
cial as global demand for food
increases in the coming decades.
The game engages players

Summers COunty Sheriff
Department To Offer Concealed
weapons Training Classes I
County Resident
2.) You must obtain a concealed
weapons permit in Summers County
after completion of training
3.) You must pass a criminal
background check to obtain your,
concealed weapons permit.
We are pffering this free class due
to the fact that our elected officials
in Charleston have decided to turn
their back on Law Enforcement and
do away with the concealed carry
permit in West Virginia which gives
everyone outside the state the right
to come into our state carrying a
concealed weapon but the citizens of
West Virginia cannot carry
concealed into other states without
a permit for the fear of being
arrested.
PLANNING MEETING
. The John Henry Days Festival
committee meets every third
Thursday at 7 pm. at the Talcott
Fire Department. If you are
interested in joining the committee
or helping out with John Henry
Days please join us!
Next meeting is set for Thursday,
s.i c
s
Before the November election the
voters should see which of the
elected officials representing our
County voted for this terrible law
that neither protects Law
Enforcement or our Citizens and.
they have bowed down to the ones
with deep pockets. A
Shame on them for wasting the
taxpayers money and for turning
their back on everyone they
represent and putting us all in
danger.
We strongly urge the citizens of
Summers County to acquire a
concealed weapons permit and take
advantage of this free training class.
Thank You & Be Safe Sheri 'GE.
Wheeler.
