FT. GAY, WVA — The 5th Annual 2017 Fun Day was held in Fort Gay, WV on Saturday, June 24, 2017 in front of the old Fort Gay High School. It is an event that is completely free for all participants from the food to the activities. There were a host of games, live music, bouncy houses, information booth and hots dogs for all to enjoy.
The big event is the bicycle give-away. This year 33 new bikes will be given away to children who attend. This is only possible through the many donations given to the community.

ORGANIZER’S COMMENTS
“…Today is a wonderful opportunity for members of the community to give back to the community. Bicycles are given as door prizes. We were able to spend about $1,200. this year on the bikes and some of them are donated. It is only possible through donations from churches, civic groups and local businesses. This is a great day for our community.”
“…The sponsors for today’s events are too numerous to name in the fear of leaving someone out. Suffice to say, without them there is no Fun Day.”
The new Mayor of the City of Fort Gay, Joetta Hatfield helped the participants register for the bike give-away and was thrilled at today’s turnout.
“Last year we had over 300 attend and we are hoping with this great weather for another big day,” the mayor said.
