Who should be honored at Monongahfest?

Monongahfest vice president Patty Steele McCombs, also the Town Recorder, says that Monongahfest officials are looking for outstanding citizens to honor at the Aug. 16 event.

Patty, married to Bill McCombs, Class of 1969, writes:

“If you know of anybody that you would like to be recognized this year at the Monongahfest, please send Patty McCombs, Debbie Manzo Vandetta, Diane Huffman Prunty or Dietta Goush a pm on fb. (I believe that's code for Personal Message on Facebook.) Please let us know why you think that person stands out from others and what they do or have done for our community. There are a lot of people in this town that do more than we are aware of!!”

Debbie, Class of 1973, is Monongahfest president. Patty is treasurer. Diane is secretary. Patty and Diane are the handling the Town-Wide Yard Sale Aug. 15.

Dietta, Class of 1959, married to Paul Goush, Class of 1954, also is involved with the Monongahfest Car Show Aug. 17. All of the car show proceeds will go to the Brogan Raddish Scholarship Fund. Brogan is Dietta’s late granddaughter, a teenager who lost her life to cancer.

Ms. West Virginia United States Kristin Wilson of Mannington will lead the Monongahfest parade Aug. 16.

The Jenna Won’t Sing band -- Greg Patrick, Jim Pulice, son Eric Pulice and Ron Yanero – will perform at the Monongahfest.

Fireworks will follow the Jenna music.

Patty also clarified the Tug of War Contest Aug. 16: "Each Tug of War team will consist of FIVE people ... it can be girls, guys, kids or anyone!!! We are calling it "FLOP in the SLOP"

Catchy name, Patty.
