The Salem Apple Butter Festival in north-central West Virginia has been canceled for the second straight year because of the pandemic. Festival Chairman Gary Martin announced the cancellation of the festival, which had been scheduled for Oct. 7 to 10. Martin said the festival’s board looked at information from the Harrison County Health Department, and the rapid spread of the virus factored into the decision. The West Virginia Italian Heritage Festival, the West Virginia Black Heritage Festival, Frontier Days, the Barbour County Fair and the Blackberry Festival were canceled previously.
