Buckhannon's 83rd Strawberry Festival honors first responders 'I love this antique car parade that's going to be coming, and the reason is I see some of the cars that are in there that I used to own that I wish I had now, but when I had them I was happy to have them, but when I let them go I was happy to let them go. But now, when I see them go by, I wish I had them again,' McDaniels said.
