The
2009 Hatfield McCoy TrailFest attracted
Off Road enthusiasts from all over |
Gilbert, WV (10/27/2009) - Once
again, thousands of off roading enthusiast set their
sights on the coal region of southern West Virginia
as the Hatfield McCoy trail system again sponsored
the annual “Trailfest” in Gilbert WV.
With entertainment on hand for the entire family,
the hundreds of miles of trails would have to fight
for its share of the fun as the riders had the chance
to participate in various activities that usually
aren’t found on the trails!
Vendors set up shop to offer products and supplies
for trail bound folks, and good food was offered
throughout the weekend which would be just the
ticket after the weather turned nasty bringing
a lot of rain to the area Friday night. The trails
always have some water on them, but the vicious
storm made sure none left without a healthy coating
of Hatfield mud!

Vendors offered
products and supplies to riders who came
out for the event, wether they were ATV,
UTV, or SxS enthusiasts. Riders would
get some nasty weather Friday night, but
that would only lead to some muddy trails
and would not stop the trail riding
|
Downtown Gilbert is always a hub for trail riders
who can cruise down main street to get supplies
and fuel, and even a trip through a fast food
joint for some grub. Restaurants open their doors
and welcome riders in for some fine fare that
is sure to make the hungriest trail-hound leave
stuffed! For many, this type of experience on
the trail is un-heard of, but it is exactly what
makes Hatfield McCoy so special. The addition
of the event to the weekend would draw even more
riders as everyone met up at the Larry Joe Harless
Community Center which would serve as ground zero
for the weekend.

Downtown
Gilbert offered trail riders places to
stop for food, fuel, and just a plain
rest from all the riding. From hotels
and motels to the law enforcement in the
region, everyone works in partnership
with riders and the entire system.
