SUMMARY:Highland County Maple Festival Weekend #2
DESCRIPTION:Take a step back in time to Highland County\, “Virginia’s Sweet Spot.” Travel scenic back roads and majestic mountain byways to the annual Highland County Maple Festival.  Since 1959\, visitors have been drawn to Highland County to tour real maple sugar camps for a cultural and culinary adventure! In 1999\, The Library of Congress designated The Highland County Maple Festival a “Local Legacy.” In 2014\, the Governor of Virginia signed a bill into law designating the festival as the “official maple festival of Virginia.” Each year\, tens of thousands of visitors are drawn to this unspoiled\, rural region of Virginia to celebrate the “opening” of the trees and observe the process of maple syrup-making. Sugar camp tours provide a unique and educational experience that portrays a rapidly vanishing way of American life. In 2024\, there will be 10 open sugar camps with unique techniques and stories for you to explore for free. In addition to pancake and buckwheat cake meals\, famous maple doughnuts and live entertainment\, over 100 high-quality juried arts and crafts vendors take part in the festival each year. We’re glad to have you share the experience! \nHours: Saturdays 9 am – 5 pm and Sundays 9 am – 4 pm generally for the majority of the festival\, including the Arts & Crafts/Food Vendors.  Get an early start\, beginning at 6 am for Mill Gap Ruritan Club maple doughnuts or 7 am for all-you-can eat pancake and buckwheat cake meals at certain locations on Saturdays and Sundays (see “Food” section below for specifics). \nMountain Momma Organics™ offers 300+ handmade gourmet food items personally created by culinary artisans Kim & Keith Finger at our West Virginia farm.  Having evolved from a small produce farm\, we promote healthy lifestyles through our organic pantry-foods portfolio.  We restrict our media to 100% certified organic ingredients and address special dietary needs\, such as vegan\, gluten free\, low sodium\, chemical free\, etc.  We only sell through 35-40 festivals in eight mid-Atlantic states and through our website. Our goal is to educate about the importance of organic foods through the experience of our delicious food creations.  We are “Tamarack – The Best of West Virginia” approved artisans. Come see our passion for “Healthy Food Choices!” at our booth at the McDowell Virginia Ruritan Building across from the Fire House.   \nHighland County VA Maple Festival

We regret that Doggie Day care will not be available.?PLEASE DO NOT BRING YOUR PETS.\nYes. ?VISA and Mastercard are accepted for festival admission.\n\nWhat a great time to think of the holidays. Purchase great handcrafted wares from our juried artists\, ranging from fun items to those for decorating your house with amazing furniture. Who wouldn?t love a nice piece of jewelry or pottery under the Christmas tree? There are inflatable rides\, live music\, and dance teams??Admission tickets can be purchased online at WoollyWorm.com so there is no need to stand in line as there is a limited number of races\, it is important to register to race your worm as soon as you arrive at the festival! Remember\, the winning Woolly Worm on Saturday earns the esteemed honor of predicting the High Country’s winter weather and receives a huge pot of $$$ – $1000 to be exact! If you can?t make it to the festival on Saturday – don’t worry – we begin the fun again on Sunday from 9am until 4pm. The fun starts Saturday morning at 9am and the woolly worm waces begin shortly after with Mr. Woolly Worm and Merryweather leading the fun! On Sunday at 1:00 is the Corporate Woolly Worm Wace. The winning worm earns a trophy and bragging rights for its business. Call the Avery County Chamber of Commerce at 828-898-5605 for more information. \n\n\n\n\n\nHistory of the Woolly Worm Festival\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBack in the late 1970s\, the editor of the now-defunct Mountain Living Magazine\, Jim Morton\, was preparing to include a Woolly Worm Forecast in the winter issue of the magazine. He photographed the first Woolly Worm he saw to use in formulating the prediction and illustrating his story\, but the next day he saw a second worm that looked completely different from the first! \n?That?s when it struck me that we needed some formal procedure to use to decide which was going to be the official worm for making the winter forecast\,? said Morton. \nSo since 1978\, the residents of the village nestled between the Carolina?s? largest ski resorts have celebrated the coming of the snow season with a Woolly Worm Festival. They set aside the third weekend in October to determine which worm will have the honor of predicting the severity of the coming winter\, and they let that worm earn the honor by winning heat after heat of hard-fought races up a three-foot length of string. \nThe Woolly Bear caterpillar has 13 brown and black segments\, which the late Charles Von Canon explained to the small crowd huddled together in the sub-freezing temperatures at the first Woolly Worm Festival correspond to the 13 weeks of winter. The lighter brown a segment is\, the milder that week of winter will be. The darker black a segment is\, the colder and snowier the corresponding week will be. \n?If you went solely by the attendance figures\, you probably wouldn?t call the first festival a success\,? recalled Morton. ?But WCYB-TV in Bristol sent a cameraman and their report ended up being broadcast nationwide by NBC News. That national TV coverage was really what gave me the motivation to want to keep the event going.? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n Click For More about the Woolly Worm Festival \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAnd the more than 20\,000 people who attended the Festival last year certainly are glad that they did. Because racing Woolly Worms is a total blast! \n\nFirst\, no person is more likely to have a winning worm than any other person. There is no home-field advantage\, no preferred age for the person who sets the worm on the string (although worms raced by children do seem to win a bit more frequently).\nSecond\, selecting names for the Woolly Worms is a delightful way to learn how amazingly creative your friends and family members can be. Consider these clever monikers: Merryweather\, Patsy Climb and Dale Wormhardt.\nFinally\, there is no other experience in life that can produce the absurd euphoria that comes from cheering for a caterpillar to climb a string. It is so indisputably ridiculous that it is completely liberating!\n\nThe $1\,000 first prize that accompanies the prestige of having your worm used to pronounce the official winter forecast doesn?t hurt either. \nThe Woolly Worm races begin around 10:00 a.m. Each heat consists of 25 worms and races continue all day until the grand final around 4 p.m. The winning worm on Saturday is declared the official winter forecasting agent. The Sunday worm races are for prestige\, fun and small prizes.?Worm Races are limited so please arrive early to the festival and register your worms. \nIn addition to the Woolly Worm Races\, the festival features crafts\, food vendors\, live entertainment and much more. Last year?s festival attracted an estimated 20\,000 fans\, 170 vendors and around 1\,000 race entrants. \n\n\n\n\n
