LONG LINE FOR 'LASSES - Festival Concludes In Arnoldsburg

(09/30/2001)

Waitin' for 'lasses

The 34th annual West Virginia Molasses Festival concluded yesterday in Arnoldsburg, with long lines to purchase the syrupy delicacy. A huge pile of squeezed cane stood next to the equipment as Saturday's events came to an end.

The local crew has worked for days to produce this year's batch, and large lines waited to get their jar.
