The board for the West Virginia Pumpkin Festival voted this week to cancel the 2020 event because of COVID-19 concerns. Festival organizers made the announcement on social media and said the cancelation included the festival and all pre-festival activities, like pageants and the parade. Vendors that have already paid for booths will be refunded their money beginning this week, according to organizers. The board says it is considering offering virtual events and socially distanced activities.
