Join us for a Strike Supper 4:30 – 7:00 PM this September 22nd in downtown Matewan, WV! Hosted by West Virginia Mine Wars Museum
The Supper will feature foods inspired by the many races and ethnicities represented in the unionist miners’ ranks. Besides great food, the Supper will also include the first ever Red Bandanna Awards, bestowed on modern-day West Virginia hellraisers, a raffle, a story collection booth, and a redneck portrait studio to round out the festivities. Museum Members who attend will receive special perks!
This Strike Supper also marks the beginning of our Blair Centennial Celebration planning for 2021. Museum partners from historic organizations, tourism offices, union locals, musicians, reenactment society are invited to a Kick-off Meeting prior to the Supper to get our Blair Centennial planning underway! If your organization would like to help bring the Blair Centennial to life, RSVP for the Meeting on the Supper Ticket page.
