LOGAN â Now that the West Virginia Freedom Festival is in the rearview for 2021, the City of Logan is now preparing for its other events for the remainder of the year.
The next event scheduled to be held in the city will be the Appalachian Heritage Days on Sept. 10 and 11, which will include a 5K race in town, house tours of the historic Don Chafin House, and music at the Coalfield Jamboree. The event, which is being planned by a committee that includes city historian Brandon Kirk and the Hatfield and McCoy Convention and Visitors Bureau, will also feature a host of numerous other activities and attractions in other areas such as Chief Logan State Park.
Perhaps itâs just the advent of springtime or the acknowledgment that the COVID-19 virus is behind me, but for the first time in a long while there is a feeling of optimism within my beleaguered soul. I finally can say, âThere is hope for Logan County,â particularly the town of Logan.
No, I donât mean that there are 10 new coal mines opening throughout the county, nor am I writing to announce the plans for some manufacturing plant that will employ hundreds of our countyâs young citizens. However, things seem to be looking a bit better.
Before delving into the present, it always pays to appreciate the past, both the good and the bad. Take, for instance, the year of 1953 as I drew my first breath of air and screamed when my mother gave birth to me at the old Holden Hospital. For younger folks, I realize it has to be difficult to envision, but even as many people were leaving southern West Virginia at the time because of automation that led to fewer employees
