Festival Forecast
By Terri Lively
Art, contests and sporting events
add flair to the packed schedule during the 2010 Clay County Golden
Delicious Festival. Small town West Virginia living explodes
with culture and activity as the 2010 “stay-cation” destination makes Clay
the place “Where Golden Memories Begin.”
Guests always enjoy
WV heritage events held during the annual festival. The Clay
County Library will host its third “Literary Arts Show”, to be held
on Friday, September 17th, boasting local authors, pottery, story-time
for kids, and live acoustic music with songs about West Virginia.
The CCHS Art Department will again have its annual “Student Art Auction”
on Saturday, September 18th. This exhilarating event provides cash
money to the students who create the artwork with a small percentage of
each purchase donated to buy supplies for the CCHS Art Department.
Many families or groups will build floats for the parade to show off a
queen, a class, a business or a civic organization. The time and
creative craftsmanship used to build floats defines the success of the
grand feature parade. Heritage Art has one of its most beautiful
showings in the quilt show displayed during bank hours at the Clay County
Bank- Main Branch. West Virginia’s culture is deeply rooted in the
art of music. Stringed instruments will bellow tunes in bluegrass and gospel
notes during the day on Friday with The Connors, Wilma Ramsey, Rocky
Branch Bluegrass, High Mountain Bluegrass and Weekend Grass along with
a special guest performance by Lester McCumbers, former Vandalia Award
winner.
Contests are always
a fun and exciting addition to any festival. The Baking Contest
continues to bring a large number of pies and cakes baked with golden delicious
apples to be judged for cash prizes. The pie must be a 2-crust round
pie, baked by a Clay County resident, and is judged by the taste of the
crust, the filling and its overall beauty. The cakes are judged
on taste and appearance. Baked goods may be viewed in the Clay Lions
Club during registration. The updated “Apple Identification
Contest” will held live from the stage on Friday evening and will provide
a cash prize to the person who can accurately identify 12 varieties of
apples. The new “Mother/Daughter Look-a-Like Contest” will
offer a nice prize package to the winning team. Early-bird applications
received before September 13 will be entered into a drawing - the
application can be found at www.claygoldendeliciousfestival.com.
Applications will be accepted on the day of the event. Entrants will
be judged on overall appearance. Kids contests include the “Fastest
Kid in Clay” races, the cookie stacking contest, the hula hoop contest,
and the jump rope contest. The Clay Lions Club offers bingo
in its Community Center on Friday and Saturday nights during the festival
with “Gold Dollar Bingo” a featured favorite.
Sporting and fitness
events welcome guests to participate or to be a spectator. The horseshoe
contest, while previously planned at the campground, is being moved
to the Board of Education Annex area in an effort to keep the event in
town. The “5K Apple Dash” entices walkers and runners to view the
scenic Elk River as they compete for cash prizes. Obrien Oval
Speedway Dirt Track races at Duck, WV and Peewee Football at CCHS
will add a new spice for sports at the 2010 festival event.
Make Clay, West Virginia
your destination for fun on the third weekend of September every year at
the Clay County Golden Delicious Festival. 8/23/2010
