Lester McCumbers, Calhoun's best known mountain
music maker spends some time with his friends

Lots of standin', sittin' and talkin" throughout the three-day festival

The kids enjoyed newly added carnival rides

From squeezin' cane and barbecued chicken to the grand parade and a county fair atmosphere, the 39th annual WV Molasses Festival was a down-home hit.

Several hundred former Calhounians returned to visit and re-live their early days, and the kids enjoyed the booths, carnival rides and parade.
