Hope Gas Returns as Premier Sponsor of the Mountain State Art and Craft Fair

The Mountain State Art and Craft Fair is proud to announce the return of Hope Gas as the Premier Sponsor for the 2026 event to be held July 2-4, 2026, at Cedar Lakes Conference Center.  This continued partnership reflects a shared commitment to celebrating West Virginia’s rich heritage while supporting the communities and small businesses that make our state so special.

With a remarkable 123-year legacy in West Virginia, Hope Gas has long been a trusted presence in communities across the state.  Their deep roots and renewed focus on serving West Virginia highlight a dedication not only to energy delivery but to building a stronger future for the region.

Hope Gas’s work in West Virginia is about more than infrastructure—it’s about impact.  Their efforts contribute to new job creation, strong community partnerships, environmental responsibility, and long-term economic growth. By helping bring more local natural gas to homes and businesses, they are playing a vital role in supporting development and ensuring future prosperity across our communities.

Their support of the Mountain State Art and Craft Fair directly strengthens one of West Virginia’s most treasured traditions.  Since 1963, the fair has brought together artisans from across the region to showcase handcrafted work, demonstrate heritage skills, and connect with thousands of visitors each year.  Events like this not only preserve Appalachian culture but also create meaningful economic opportunities for artists and small businesses.

As Premier Sponsor, Hope Gas helps make it possible to continue this mission—providing a platform where craftsmanship, education, and community come together in a truly unique way.

We extend our sincere gratitude to Hope Gas for their continued support and for investing in the people, traditions, and future of West Virginia.

Together, we are building a stronger, more vibrant Mountain State—one artisan, one partnership, and one community at a time.
