OX ROAST-LABOR CELEBRATION

This is Rowlesburg's modern day Claim to Fame and visitors come from all corners of theUSA to partake in a gastronomic treat found only in the Cheat River Valley.The Park crew lights the barbecue pit fire on Sunday night so that the ox roasts slowly to a moist, melt-in-your mouth tenderness. The fire is tended all night to make sure your portion is of the high quality you expect. In addition to great food, there will be a carnival, music and other entertainment, plus a finale of fireworks from Cannon Hill over the river.

PRESTON COUNTY BUCKWHEAT FESTIVAL

The first Buckwheat Festival was held October 13 -15, 1938 and included an all-day horse trading and a farmer's auction. Early festival activities were located on the east lawn of the courthouse, and attendees enjoyed sack races, hog calling for women, husband calling, nail driving for women, eating contests, tugs of war, and rolling pin throwing. As the festival continued, buckwheat and other agricultural crops were exhibited, a king and queen were selected, and a banquet of buckwheat cakes and sausage were served.  Now, the Buckwheat Festival is held each year in Kingwood, WV beginning the last Thursday in September each year.
