ELKINS Mountain State Forest Festival officials are planning to have the annual Band Field Show competition this fall although it may not take place in Elkins.
On Tuesday, the Randolph County Board of Education voted to purchase new bleachers and a press box to create a new Elkins High School football field beside the school, leaving historic Wimer Stadium, where the bleachers were condemned in the summer of 2020, empty and unused.
The MSFF Band Field Show has taken place at Wimer Stadium for decades, but will now have to move to a different location.
“The band field show is going to happen,” Mountain State Forest Festival Executive Director Robbie Morris told The Inter-Mountain Friday. “It is a little bit in flux as to exactly where it’s going to happen. We have reserved the Buckhannon-Upshur (High School football) field in case the bleachers and everything are not completed at EHS.”
