Gov. Patrick Morrisey was unable to pick a favorite part of the America250 lineup Monday. The giant Ferris wheel? The musical acts? The laser light show?
Maybe all of the above.
“I’ll tell you what, that’s like choosing a favorite son or daughter at an event. It’s very, very hard,” Morrisey said.
But he wanted to be clear – the festivities are statewide.
“I want people all across West Virginia, from Martinsburg to Maitland, from Weirton to War, to be able to know there is an event nearby for you that you can take advantage of,” Morrisey said.
Charleston’s annual Sternwheel Regatta, happening roughly a mile away at the same time, will complement the state celebration, he added.
He also addressed concerns that the $2 million price tag is too steep in the face of significant cuts.
“The one thing I would say is this: this is an incredible and unmatched opportunity for people to come out and experience West Virginia and see all the amazing sites that we have. That’s priceless,” Morrisey said.
Festivities kick off at 5 p.m. Thursday, July 2 and run through Sunday, July 5. Visit WV250.com for a complete list of events.
