West Virginia
As a West Virginia resident, I'm accustomed to hearing lots of jokes
about our wonderful state. So when I heard one of your listeners
referring to Smith Island as "West Virginia in a can", I knew the
stereotypes wouldn't be far behind. Sure enough, she went on to
mention "cars up on blocks" and "furniture on the front porch" in her
comparison of Smith Island with wild, wonderful, West Virginia.
For those listeners who are willing to look beyond the stereotypes, I
invite you to visit Shepherdstown, West Virginia this summer. Only
one hour from Washington's Dulles airport, you'll be able to enjoy
our historic architecture, great food, and friendly people. And while
you at it, why not take in the Contemporary American Theater Festival
at Shepherd College. This wonderful festival, celebrating its 10th
year of provocative new plays, runs from July 7th through July 30th.
For more information on Shepherdstown and the Contemporary American
Theater Festival, visit www.catf.org. We hope to see you this summer!
