Cheat River Festival

From Cheat River Festival Website:

The annual Cheat River Festival is a celebration of new life, that which comes each Spring and the new life that can be found in the Cheat River watershed. Cheat Fest is Friends of the Cheats annual fundraiser which helps us advance our watershed projects and supports the organizations administrative costs. Rain or shine, Cheat Fest is always a good time!

From 5:30pm till 10:00pm on Friday, May 5th, and 11:30am till 11:30pm on Saturday, May 6th, the festival grounds in Albright, West Virginia will once again transform into a haven for boaters, music lovers, and families. Bands from all over Appalachia will entertain crowds with live music, while Fest goers browse the Art Market, learn about other non-profit organizations that share the FOC vision, bid on a great array of silent auction goods, buy fCF_DancingGirlsrom a variety of food and merchandise vendors, and above all, help support Friends of the Cheat.

Another reason to love Cheat Fest: kids under twelve are free! Kids of all ages can congregate at the ever-growing Kids Tent from noon till 5:00pm on Saturday for a host of hands-on activities.
