Huntington Prime: an awesome experience
One of the great things about being in the tourism industry is that there is a lot of travel involved. In these travels, I've been lucky enough to experience some great sights, attractions, and restaurants from major cities all over the country. Having said this, I can truly say that we have a real gem in Huntington Prime located on 4th Ave.
The selection is wonderful and the food is incredible, and something that makes the food truly stand out is that there is a concerted effort to acquire almost all that is served at the restaurant from local sources. Today, that is a popular and important trend around the country for many reasons including how it supports the local economy and the "green" benefits of it. But usually it takes more than the food to make a restaurant special, and Huntington Prime has it all...
The service is just right and the location is great as it is right in our walkable downtown, in a great building, with a great facade, and it certainly adds a touch of class to 4th Avenue. The ambiance is perfect as it is elegant but affordable, classy but modern, eclectic but comfortable, energetic but relaxed, quaint but trendy.
If you haven't yet made it out to this local treat, you should certainly consider it.

Heritage Farm's Spring Festival cancelled
A message from the Farm:
Due to the recent unprecedented heavy rains, the major storm that hit us Tuesday evening (which caused significant flooding of all our parking areas) and a weather forecast that calls for still more rain, we regretfully announce that we are having to cancel our 15th Annual Festival originally scheduled for Saturday, May 14, 2011. We are fearful that the risk to people and their vehicles in the extreme mud is simply too high. Please help us spread the word that the event has been canceled. We deeply regret this announcement as we had added a number of new activities and expanded exhibits. All is not lost however, in addition to being open daily (except Sundays) for regular tours, please remember that we will still be having our Way Back Weekend Festivities on the first Saturday of each month throughout the remainder of 2011 and we will utilize the "extra" opportunities normally at Spring Festival and spread them throughout the remaining Way Back Weekends beginning with "Recycled Beauty" (Quilting, Sheep Shearing, Braided Rugs) on Saturday, June 4, 2011. Other Way Back Weekend opportunities will include: July 2 Youth Festival; August 6 Wood Festival; September 3 Appalachian Music Festival; October 1 Fall Harvest Festival; November 5 Hand Blown Glass; and December 3 Holiday Market. If you have any questions or need further information, please call the Heritage Farm office at 304-522-1244 or visit us on-line at heritagefarmmuseum.com
Thanks for understanding, we look forward to seeing you again soon.

Hillbilly Hotdogs... what a treat!
The ambiance is probably one of the most unique in the country, service was not only great, but fun, and the choice of hot dogs is certainly notable. The "Out Wayne Dog" with chili, bacon, and nacho and shredded cheeses was indeed excellent, the burgers were quite hearty, and the "Incubator Tater" had an extremely pleasant array of flavors and made other loaded baked potatoes look like tater tots.
Hillbilly Hotdogs definitely earned the CVB's seal of approval and if you're in town, make sure to stop by this unique restaurant!
Stay tuned for more of our Food Blogs!
