Celebrating, West Virginia Style – Morgantown magazine

Some of the best of Mountaineer Week is still to come.

From beard growing to woodworking and folk dancing to fancy fiddling—plus biscuits and gravy, apple cobbler, and lots more homestyle cooking—Mountaineer Week, November 11–17, is WVU’s celebration of traditional West Virginia ways. A lot of the fun is still to come, and you can get in on the action this weekend with these Mountaineer Week and related events.
