Darrell: The Mountain State Apple Harvest Festival has been advertising with Valley Revue at least as long as I have been affiliated with the organization - approximately ten years. We do an annual informal survey of attendees, asking where they learned about our events. An overwhelming number of respondents from the MD/ VA/PA/WV quad-state area mention that they saw our ad in the Valley Revue. From our perspective, we get excellent “bang for our buck” from our placement in Valley Revue and intend to continue advertising with you for the foreseeable future.

Regards, Ed Edward Wilson Publicity Chairman Mountain State Apple Harvest Festival 10 THE Calendar MAGAZINE

are at the heart of a mountain spa community in West Virginia's Eastern Panhandle. First noted as Medicine Springs in 1747 on a map drawn by Thomas Jefferson's father, the waters for many centuries have drawn visitors seeking health and relief from the stress of everyday life.

In 1776, George Washington's family and friends drew up a plat of 134 lots, named the streets, and incorporated The Town of Bath, invoking the muses of the renowned English spa. Yet the magic of the springs prevailed, and the town and surrounding area are known by their name Berkeley Springs.

The waters flow at a constant 74°F from the base of Warm Springs Ridge. You may still drink freely and fill your jugs at Lord Fairfax's public tap, and wade in the ancient stone pools in the nation's smallest state park. The town has endured cycles of notoriety, fashion, war and modern progress, but remains the Country's First Spa, a quiet, friendly haven surrounded by West Virginia's splendid outdoors. ❧
