KINGWOOD, W.Va. — The tradition continues in downtown Kingwood Wednesday with the opening of the 81st Preston County Buckwheat Festival.
Festival General Chairman Harry Hayes said more than 10,000 buckwheat pancake and sausage dinners are prepared each year for the community with the proceeds benefiting firefighters. The Kingwood Fire Department meals are $12 for adults and $7 for kids from 3 to 12 years old.
“The buckwheat cakes and sausages are at our community building,” Hayes said. “Those are all-you-can-eat buckwheat cakes; you pay for the dinner, and you can eat as many buckwheat cakes as you want, and it comes with sausage as well.”
