Intrigued bv the week ' s itinerary, Jill Wilmoth finds it hard to choose between activities. Tradition annually proves our iliJE m ED10 ' f]i As we flaunt craft and talent ■ HAT BEGAN as a day long event, has evolv- ed into a week of West Virginians showing off their pride and heritage. Mountaineer Week focused at- tention on moun- tain lore and tradition October 30-November 5. Kicking off the week of activities was a five-mile fun run sponsored by Miller Light and a Mr. and Ms. Mountaineer reception, in which finalists for the traditional pageant were announced. High Street Monday night filled with mer- rymakers as the downtown street fair began. Area craftsmen and culinary figures lined the street with arts and crafts. Whiffs of funnel cake and home-baked goods added a tantalizing aroma to the air. In keeping with tradition, the greased pole climb took place at the bottom of High Street. Several weeklong events opened Monday including a quilt show of more than 200 quilts, which attracted serious needle ex- perts, hobbyists and just interested students to E. Moore Hall where the quilts were housed. The exhibition was dedicated to Rebecca Core Conaway, an avid quilting en- thusiast long in- volved with Mountaineer Week ' s quilt show. Conaway had died in January 1983. The A-frame cabin filled with souvenirs in front of the Lair had long been a sign of Mountaineer Week.
