Winter fun in Tucker County

Many may think that the recent snowfall means staying indoors wrapped up in a heavy blanket cursing the cold for it's annual arrival. In Tucker County snowfall means tourist are once again flowing into the area for some skiing, tubing, and sledding at one of our local resorts.

At Canaan Valley Resort you can partake in one or more of it's 43 slopes and trails featuring an 850 foot vertical drop that allows for all skill levels to partake in the fun. They offer skiing, snowboarding, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, tubing, ice skating and more.

At Timberline you can enjoy one of their 37 slopes and trails featuring a vertical drop of 1,000 feet and offering a ski-school to allow for training and upgrading of your skills. While at Timberline enjoying all of the skiing you can also enjoy taking in sleigh ride, attending a ski-in church, or one of the many other memorable and pampered experiences offered there.

 Blackwater Falls State Park one of the most famous and photographed places in West Virginia won't be left out of the winter fun either with it's offering of more than ten miles of trails available for cross country skiing while sporting the longest sled run on the East Coast at more than a quarter mile long.

Wherever you decide to spend your time in Tucker County this winter you won't be disappointed with the offering of winter events, majestic snow capped mountain vistas, and the abundance of nature offered by the seemingly endless supply of hiking trails.

What does the future hold for Dixie Dave's?

Image
It's been a few years now since I launched Dixie Dave's a company I started as an online retailer of Confederate merchandise and later expanded to include pro gun, military, patriotic, redneck, hillbilly, EMS, Firefighter, biker, religious and other merchandise while relocating the shop to a brick and mortar store located on Second St. in downtown Parsons.  It's been a lot of fun running the shop over the past few years and I've really enjoyed getting to know our first responders, military members, and Conservative citizens, over that time we became an NRA recruiter, NFIB member, and the place to go to get items that were considered politically incorrect, controversial, and hard to get. I made the decision recently to shutter the business in favor of launching in it's place a new shop focusing on locally made items, WV souvenirs, WVU merchandise, and anything else made in or to do with the state I love. If you missed getting in to see Dixie Dave's we&

Will Corridor H help or hinder Parsons?

Corridor H construction photo from  wvcorridorh.com public news release. The completion of Corridor H is a hot topic for almost every local official, but what does the completion of Corridor H actually mean for the small city of Parsons? Many politicians will tout the fact that completion of this interstate will open up our area to more business, easier access, and a huge influx of tourism. With the current uncompleted layout of the interstate Parsons enjoys a unique situation where every car traveling Corridor H has to disembark at Davis and drive through Parsons to once again jump on the interstate at Kerns. The current arrangement means most motorists don't have a choice when it comes to driving through our downtown, seeing local shops, and being able to stop if they see something they like. With the completion of Corridor H motorists traveling the interstate will gain the ability to simply fly past Parsons without a second thought. While the interstate will clearly o

A hick without a fair.

Residents both young and old share fond memories of the Tucker County Hick Fair, a celebration of our backwoods hillbilly heritage hosted by the now defunct Hendricks Ruritan Club that took place over its 47 years of operation at both Hendricks prior to the 1985 flood and Camp Kid beginning in 1986. The event featured contests, demonstrations, entertainment, and just good old fashioned family fun for everyone. Popular draws for the festival varied widely over the years and included events like the coon chase, tobacco spitting contest, lawn tractor pulls, turkey calling contest, cow patty bingo, lumberjack games, horse shows, and many more sure to leave any city slicker scratching their head events. In earlier years the hick fair was a major Tucker County event attended at one time or another by almost every resident and out of towner who would brave the banjo music to attend. In later years that turnout tapered off and eventually with the dissolution of the Hendricks Ruritan
