As many of you already know, Alderson was hit
pretty hard by the recent wind storm as were several other areas of
the country. Most, if not all, of the Alderson 4th of July
celebration has been canceled. Due to the fact that electricity was
out, much of the food that was prepared for the banquet was probably
lost. Also contracts signed with the entertainers who perform on the
football field will often contain a clause that says that they will
be paid even if the events are canceled. There may also be other
financial obligations that the town is responsible for that are not
immediately apparent. Hence, it appears that the town will take a
pretty big financial hit because of these things. If you would like
to make a contribution to help out, please make your check payable
to Alderson 4th of July Committee and send it to Alderson 4th of
July Committee, P. O. Box 128, Alderson, WV, 24910.
