Skinner Accident & Injury Lawyers was proud to be the presenting sponsor of WV Fest, Charles Town’s annual festival celebrating West Virginia’s unique culture and heritage. This year’s event took place on Saturday, June 17th, just a few days shy of West Virginia Day on June 20th.

The event pits a variety of teams against one another to answer state trivia questions. One of the teams was made up of Golden Horseshoe alumni.

The top scorers are named Knights of the Golden Horseshoe and celebrated in Charleston for their mastery of the subject.) After years of pursuit, our very own Golden Horseshoe Alum Andrew Skinner finally agreed to participate. And his father, John Skinner, had also joined a team: Team WVU O-Line, which consisted of former offensive linemen from the Mountaineers. Win or lose, we knew it was guaranteed entertainment! It came down to eight graders versus the O-Line team, lead
“We were thrilled to be the presenting sponsor of WV Fest,” said Stephen Skinner. “It was a great opportunity for us to support our community and celebrate the things that make West Virginia so special.”
