The Marching Carousel Majorettes would like to thank everyone who participated in the 2015 WV Molasses Festival Arm Wrestling competition, fundraiser.

The group would also like to extend a thank you to the Festival Committee for allowing them to try the new event, and to Nick Davis for the knowledge of the sport, the table and refereeing.
