Savoring the delights of West Virginia Day while enjoying the iconic pepperoni rolls was the highlight of the recent Rolls on the River Festival held at the scenic Haddad Riverfront Park. Attendees basked in the festivities amidst the heat wave, relishing the state's famous dish from a variety of vendors. The event was elevated by the melodious tunes of live bluegrass music and the showcase of talented local artisans' creations.
Culinary Extravaganza: Partnerships are key, and the collaboration between Charleston Montessori School and Festivall brought forth a unique experience for food enthusiasts. Paige Payne, the director of Charleston Montessori, expressed her excitement, stating, 'This event is a testament to the rich culture and flavors of West Virginia.' The inclusive nature of the festival catered to all, with special provisions for children to partake in the festivities.
A Generous Gesture: Beyond the culinary delights and cultural showcases, Rolls on the River Festival also had a philanthropic angle. A portion of the proceeds from the event was allocated to the Charleston Montessori School scholarship fund, exemplifying the spirit of giving back to the community. The seamless blend of gourmet experiences, artistic displays, and charitable contributions made this celebration a true embodiment of the essence of West Virginia Day.
