FAIRMONT, (WBOY) — Pricketts Fort State Park has already announced its full lineup of events for 2025, this year featuring activities like traditional hunting workshops, live music and old-fashioned cooking.
According to a press release from Pricketts Fort, the event season at the park begins April 21 with more than 40 events planned between the opening day and Dec. 14.
