BECKLEY -- The Friends of Coal along with many other generous sponsors are pleased to announce the 8th Annual Friends of Coal Auto Fair beginning on July 15th and ending on July 17th, 2011.


The event will be held at the YMCA Paul Cline Memorial Sports Complex in Beckley, WV and serves as a major fund raising event for the YMCA of Southern West Virginia. Because of all your help in the past, the YMCA was able to offer approximately 1000 free memberships to children in 2010. In addition to the free memberships, the YMCA of Southern West Virginia utilizes the funds raised by this event for supplies and upkeep of existing facilities which accommodated over 100,000 children last year.

This year’s event features hundreds of show cars along with concerts on both Friday and Saturday night. The Saturday night concert will feature both Little Big Town and Josh Turner. The Friday night concert will feature local groups and looks to be very entertaining.

Your assistance is greatly needed in support of this great community event that provides needed funds to the YMCA of Southern West Virginia. If you are interested in being a sponsor please contact Jay Rist at 304 252-0715.

ENTERTAINMENT INCLUDES:  Saturday night concert featuring Little Big Town and Josh Turner
