The United Mine Workers of America is taking part in the 29th Annual WV Coal Festival in Madison West Virginia this year!
The five-day event is a great time to get together to celebrate coal mining and its heritage.
We’re proud of an industry that originated in Boone County where coal was First Discovered in Peytona in 1742.
This year the festival will take place on June 13-17th, 2023.
The United Mine Workers of America plans to have a booth at this event! Check back to find out when and where!
