Next Apple Butter Festival \u2013 October 9-10, 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a very sad announcement,\u201d Mozier told Rob Mario and David Welch on WRNR\u2019s Eastern Panhandle Talk.<\/a> \u201cWe tried every way to figure out how to make that event fit the fairs and festivals guidelines. But there just wasn\u2019t a way. The Health Department just said no. It\u2019s not like they were going to do at the state fair where there is an entrance and exit. The Apple Butter festival is wide open and all over town. But I will say to the general public \u2013 no one is cancelling the fall foliage.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n (The image for this year’s Apple Butter Festival, pictured above, was created by local artists Carol and Jean Pierre Hsu. T-shirts with the image will be on sale soon in Berkeley Springs.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n But Morgan County Day is still on for Monday July 6 from 11 am to 3 pm at Berkeley Springs State Park. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe only official ceremonial part of it is from 12 noon to 1 pm where there will be very short speeches from the gazebo in the park,\u201d Mozier said. \u201cWe are going to have a couple of food trucks on hand across the street in the farmers\u2019 market area, so that people can go and get something to eat. We will be debuting this incredible Morgan County Bicentennial quilt that our local quilters made. It\u2019s 34 different squares of attractions throughout the county. Nineteen women worked on it. It\u2019s really pretty special. After the quilt show, which starts later this month at the Ice House, it is going to go hang forever in the Morgan County Courthouse.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rob Mario asked \u2013 How will you be going about your Covid-19 safety precautions during the course of the celebration?<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe park has a lot of space in it,\u201d Mozier said. \u201cPeople can be everywhere in the park. We will have a sound system, you can basically social distance throughout the entire town. We will be livestreaming it and filming it for a future video. I told the people who are coming \u2013 five minutes only for your speech and then I\u2019ll banish them from the gazebo. It will just be me and the quilt and my cutout of Danny Morgan on the gazebo.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe swimming pool will be open. The museum will be open. We have been pretty open in Morgan County since the beginning of May and our numbers are pretty much unchanging. We still haven\u2019t had even 20 cases since the beginning of March. I keep telling people \u2013 we are a healing place.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n David Welch asked Mozier about George Miller\u2019s upset of Daryl Cowles in the recent Republican primary for the 58th House of Delegates district.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI actually had the same conversation with Charles Trump,\u201d Mozier said. \u201cHe was shocked. He asked me \u2013 Weren\u2019t you shocked?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd I said \u2013 I\u2019ll tell you what happened. I will give you a list. All the people who didn\u2019t like Daryl pushing the bypass down our throats. All the people who didn\u2019t like the gas pipeline. All the people who didn\u2019t like that he had two jobs. And the teachers were pretty solidly behind Mr. Miller.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jeanne Mozier took to the airwaves this week to announce that the yearly Apple Butter Festival is cancelled.
