Regarding the Mountaineer Week materials, the binders include correspondence, printed material such as promotional material, vendor forms (note that the 1995 binder starts in 1994 and includes vendor forms for the Jackson's Mill Jubilee), budgets and other financial documentation, clippings, etc. The binders focus on planning the various events that go into Mountaineer Week, including a beard growing challenge, races, children's activities, the craft fair, the country vittles dinner, turkey calling, storytelling, music, and more.
