47th Annual Nicholas County Potato Festival

From 47th Annual Nicholas County Potato Festival Website:

The Nicholas County Potato Festival officially started in 1969 under the allegiance of the Nicholas County Crop Grower's Association, which included a County Commissioner, a local crop grower and the FFA, which was established in 1966 by local residents interested in the promotion of farming.
The festival was created in an effort to promote the over 200 acres of potato farming being done in Nicholas County in those early days. After several years, the Lion's Club became involved as co-sponsors, which helped grow the festival into what it is today. Each year, hundreds of people flock to Summersville to celebrate "potato farming", which is a significant part of Nicholas County's heritage. The festival is geared towards family and provides an array of activities that include entertainment from local children's groups to well know entertainment bands.
