Did you know that MountainFest is a non-profit organization?
MountainFest Motorcycle Rally, LLC is a non-profit organization that with the help of our generous sponsors and faithful attendees has been able to contribute over $300,000 to various non-profit organizations in our short four year history. The planning committee was ecstatic this year when making the largest single contribution to-date of $80,000 to Mylan Park, a 320 acre non-profit recreational and educational complex dedicated toward improving the quality of life of residents and visitors in North Central West Virginia. Some of the facilities located at Mylan Park include…
- West Virginia Miracle Field Sports Complex – a completely rubberized sport service for baseball players with disabilities, the 3rd of its kind in the country
- Baseball & Softball Complex used by four area high schools
- Stepping Stones – a non-profit organization dedicated to helping people with disabilities achieve their maximum level of independence
- PACE Enterprises - a community rehabilitation program that assists persons with disabilities to become employable in the private sector
- Girl Scouts – an office providing support and service to 29 counties in West Virginia, Maryland and Ohio

On behalf of MountainFest Motorcycle Rally, LLC thank you to each and every sponsor and attendee that has helped make it possible for us to support this great organization so they can continue to provide these necessary services to our community.
CCR - Creedence Clearwater Revisited - set to entertain Saturday night at MountainFest 2010.
Stu Cook and Doug "Cosmo" Clifford may not have intended it, but their band Creedence Clearwater Revisited has taken on a startling life of its own. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame rhythm section (bass and drums respectively) from the legendary group Creedence Clearwater Revival launched the Creedence Clearwater Revisited project in 1995 to once again perform live Creedence Clearwater Revival hits - touchstones of a generation. Though the pair initially only planned to play private parties, Creedence Clearwater Revisited now performs up to 100 shows a year and has released the album "Recollection."
The Charlie Daniels Band set to entertain Friday night at MountainFest 2010.
“Few individuals have symbolized the South in popular culture as directly and indelibly as Charlie Daniels.”
Encyclopedia of Southern Culture
Charlie Daniels is partly Western and partly Southern. His signature “bullrider” hat and belt buckle, his lifestyle on the Twin Pines Ranch (a boyhood dream come true), his love of horses, cowboy lore and the heroes of championship rodeo, Western movies, and Louis L'Amour novels, identify him as a Westerner. The son of a lumberjack and a Southerner by birth, his music - rock, country, bluegrass, blues, gospel - is
quintessentially Southern. In fact, even his bent for all things Western is Southern, because his attire, his lifestyle and his interests are historically emblematic of Southern working class solidarity with the “lone cowboy” individualism of the American West. It hasn't been so much a style of music, but more the values consistently reflected in several styles that has connected Charlie Daniels with millions of fans. For decades, he has steadfastly refused to label his music as anything other than “CDB music,” music that is now sung around the fire at 4-H Club and scout camps, helped elect an American President, and been popularized on a variety of radio formats.
Trailer Choir - gonna be "Rockin' the Beer Gut" Saturday evening at MountainFest 2010.
Who are Trailer Choir? Are they the fun loving entertainers who rocked thousands on Toby
Keith's tour, or three seriously determined entertainers who've poured everything into their careers? Are
they emcee Butter and pop-worming Big Vinny or two serious and committed songwriters? Are they the
beautiful and charismatic Crystal or the small town Louisiana girl with the big voice? Are they the party
anthem "Rockin' The Beer Gut" or the heart-wrenching "What Would You Say?"
Yes. Yes they are.
For Trailer Choir, the last 18 months have been a frenetic introduction to the national stage. From
their signing with Show Dog Nashville to being named About.com's Best New Country Duo/Group, the
trio made a notable impression on country music without seeming to pause for so much as an extra breath.
But as they release their self-titled debut, Butter, Big Vinny and Crystal know their story will be told only
as the full spectrum of their music unfolds for all to hear. Sheer energy got their foot in the door, but it is
their heart that will help them take the room. And through it all, everyone stands to have one serious good
time.
