Clay County Golden Delicious Festival
September 16 - 19, 2010


www.claygoldendeliciousfestival.com

A festival that celebrates Clay County as the birthplace of the
Golden Delicious Apple.

The Birth of the Golden Delicious Festival

The idea for starting a Golden Delicious Festival came from Agricultural Commissioner Gus Douglas, while speaking before the Clay Lions Club. Commissioner Douglas stated that something should be undertaken in Clay County to honor the Golden Delicious Apple. The Lions set out immediately with the assistance of Howard Knotts, Coordinator for the Department of Agriculture.

The Festival was chartered in December 1972, by members of the Clay Lions Club. Those signing the charter were Holly Hopkins, Robert Jackson, R. T. Sizemore Jr., William Dunn and Larry Hopkins.

The Festival Committee was very grateful for the help given them by the members of the Apple Blossoms Festivals in Winchester, Virginia. Also working closely with the Festival Committee was Paul Allen, Extension Agent and West Virginia University.

Many thousands of hours have been donated to the Festival by people too numerous to name; yet without them the Festival would not have succeeded. Special thanks goes to our Delegate Robert Reed, who worked so diligently in helping set up the Festival.

In 1975, sponsorship of the Golden Delicious Festival was taken over by V.F.W. Post 4419. Then in 1989 the Clay County Parks and Recreation took it over.

Since its birth, the Clay County Golden Delicious Festival has been a tradition that people look forward to each year. Native Clay Countains return home to meet old friends, make new acquaintances, and take part in the many activities planned throughout the four-day weekend event.
