West Virginia athletic department agrees to partnership with local mulch company
On the same day Kansas received a record-breaking $300 million donation, one of the Jayhawks' Big 12 counterparts secured a deal of its own. West Virginia has agreed to a multi-year partnership with Grant County Mulch that makes the company the official mulch supplier of the Mountaineers' athletic department, the university announced August 13. Based in Petersburg, West Virginia, about 90 miles southeast of West Virginia's Morgantown campus, Grant County Mulch is the largest bulk mulch supplier in the country, according to the Mountaineers' release. As part of the newly inked and undeniably unique agreement — after all, how many colleges have an official mulch supplier? — Grant County Mulch will be racing a West Virginia-themed truck in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series at the Richmond Raceway in Virginia on August 15. The truck is owned by CR7 Motorsports and will be driven by Grant Enfinger. Beyond the company's logo being displayed on LED boards at football and basketball games, as well as on the outfield wall at baseball games, the Mountaineers' post-game radio show for football and men's basketball will award a 'Tough as Mulch' player of the game. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. "Both of us — and our parents — were born and raised in West Virginia, so this partnership means more than business to us," Larry and Janie Berg, founders of Grant County Mulch, said in a statement. "It's about honoring our roots, supporting our home state, and being part of something that represents the pride and spirit of West Virginians everywhere."

Test it Tuesday: Mothman potato chips
CLARKSBURG, (WBOY) — In this latest Test It Tuesday segment, the 12 News crew tries the newly released Mister Bees 'Mothman style' potato chips. Mister Bees' Mothman chips use a 'mysterious spice blend' similar to a sweet barbecue flavor but also have a very slight spicyness to them. Mister Bee, based in Parkersburg, West Virginia, is the state's foremost manufacturer of potato chips and has several other varieties of West Virginia-themed potato chips like the '304 Style' and pepperoni roll flavor. Test It Tuesday: Mister Bee's West Virginia-themed potato chips Overall, the 12 News team enjoyed the Mothman chips and would eat them again. A few people said they much preferred the Mothman chips over the pepperoni roll-flavored chips we tried in a previous Test It Tuesday. If you want to try the Mothman potato chips for yourself, you can usually find them at Go Mart gas stations or wherever Mister Bee chips are sold. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
