ART26201, with assistance from West Virginia Wesleyan College, will host the 9th Annual Young Filmmakers Camp at Lascaux Micro-Theater in Buckhannon, West Virginia, this summer.
The five-day workshop will guide students through writing, shooting, and editing a short film. Led by instructors Andrew Carroll, Jon Benjamin, Jess Johnson, and Bryce O’Loughlin, all students will learn the essentials of sharing a compelling story, screenwriting, videography, and editing while working in a collaborative environment. Additionally, students will be introduced to the vocabulary of filmmaking so that they can communicate about their work professionally.
At the end of the week, they will hold a screening of student-produced films so students can celebrate their accomplishments with their friends and families.

It’s officially summer when plans are underway for WV’s Largest Yard Sale in Upshur and Lewis Counties! The first weekend in August has become a HUGE annual event – folks start calling in January / February to confirm the dates and make their plans. Not only are people coming from all over West Virginia to bargain shop, but from surrounding states and as far as Florida to find a good deal! Find hundreds of Yard Sales scattered throughout multiple counties in the center of West Virginia and join us in welcoming visitors as they travel and discover our small town’s charm.
That’s the goal of WV’s Largest Yard Sale…. for locals to have an opportunity to sell their unwanted items and clear out their garages while bargain hunters have the best experience shopping yard sales in our towns. Not only do folks stop by the Yard Sales, they are exploring all that our counties have to offer. They get to see the historic buildings, drive some country roads, discover some amazing food at local restaurants and enjoy a weekend with their friends and family.
If Bargain Hunting, Be Prepared:
. Comfortable Walking Shoes – One of the great things about WV’s Largest Yard Sale is that you get to see our beautiful neighborhoods, and many times you’ll find a long stretch of Yard Sales along one street. But you do have to walk between Yard Sales, so plan to dress comfortably!
. Water, Water and more Water – The weather is always spectacular and sunny during WV’s Largest Yard Sale, so stay hydrated & enjoy! Sunscreen, sunglasses & hats are a good idea, too.
. Shopping Bags – Most of the individual Yard Sales will have bags available for you after you’ve purchased a few items; But it’s a good idea to bring a reusable bag, just in case.
. Cash & Change – It sounds obvious, but remember to bring pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters and plenty of ‘small’ bills to purchase your bargain!
Map
Beginning June 1, registered yard sales will be added regularly to our online map!
To Register a Yard Sale
Registration will open on June 1, 2024.
Registration for the WV’s Largest Yard Sale will be online using a simple online form, and registration is FREE again this year! Along with the simplified online registration, you will also find the official yard sale map online, as well. We will try to have a printed version available, but we cannot guarantee it this year.
