The following is a guest post from the West Virginia Bridge Day Commission…
Bridge Day in West Virginia
But, we always suggest that. And not just because we’re guesting on the P&P blog. It’s just that that’s really a perfect combination for almost anything.
Still, Bridge Day is the biggest festival in West Virginia. And it garners some unique food and fun opportunities that you won’t find in other places. For instance, Taste of Bridge Day, which is the party before the par-tay, as it were. Best food from around the gorge all Friday night long.
Then Saturday (that’s October 17), the jumping begins. If you don’t know the deal with Bridge Day, here it is: the New River Gorge Bridge closes down once a year to celebrate. And people jump off it, among lots of other stuff. Rappellers. Parachutes. Ziplines. Whitewater Rafting. Arts and crafts and food booths. The works.
Ok, for food out on the bridge during Bridge Day, I will be your temporary tour guide: Would you care for some funnel cake? Over here, we have a fine elephant ear topped with whipped crème. And then please indulge in this wonderfully sweet cotton candy flavored snow cone. Finish with a delectable deep-fried Snickers bar…
What?! Deep fried Snickers?! Ok, don’t eat too many of those or the bridge might not hold us.
Anyway, our Bridge Day festival is a very cool, once-a-year way to get a look at what we call fun around here. And all the fall colors are out, too. So it’s beautiful.
One last thing: We want you to participate in Bridge Day online, too. When you take pictures or video, or just want to comment on something, please plug in and do so. We’re on Facebook, Youtube, Flickr, and Twitter, too. Just tag anything you’ve got with #bridgeday, and everyone can enjoy it.
So, have fun, eat a lot, and we’ll see you out on the bridge!
