POINT PLEASANT — Fort Randolph is having quite an active event season.

During Tuesday’s Mason County Convention and Visitors Bureau meeting, members discussed the Eastern Woodland Frontier Gathering, which took place at Krodel Park’s Fort Randolph over the weekend. According to Denny Bellamy, CVB chairman, the event went very well.

“The fort was full all day and the Indian camp was full,” Bellamy said, adding that the fort’s gift shop sold several items during the event.

In addition to the fort event, the Family Resource Network hosted their annual fishing rodeo on Saturday, which helped contribute to the large crowd at the Eastern Woodland Frontier Gathering. According to Bellamy, the fishing rodeo saw crowds lined up all around Krodel Park.

“We sent Indians into the crowd to draw those at the rodeo to come to the fort,” Bellamy said. “It was a good day, and the re-enactors were busy all day long.”

Bellamy updated members on the fort’s tavern, which suffered extensive damage when it caught fire in February. According to Bellamy, the tavern construction is complete, and it has been re-designed in the inside to enable more floor space. The only thing left to do in the tavern is re-build the fireplace, Bellamy said.

Also, Bellamy said the fort has undergone other updates, including the addition of a drainage system. According to Bellamy, a movie featuring the fort is currently being planned and will feature students from Marshall University’s theatre department.

The next event scheduled to take place at Fort Randolph is the Two River Pow-Wow, slated for June 27-28. The pow-wow will include dancing, singing and will feature craft vendors. The fort’s Liberty! event also is scheduled for July 4.

Additional fort events will be Longhunters and Landgrabbers, Aug. 1; Militia Muster, Sept. 5; Harvest Fest and All Hallows Eve, Oct.30-31; and Christmas on the Frontier, Dec. 5.

The Fort Randolph committee also is currently selling raffle tickets for a flintlock rifle and accoutrements as well as other prizes, which will be awarded at the fort’s annual Harvest Fest in October. For more information on tickets, call Craig Hesson, president of the Fort Randolph committee, at 304-675-7933.

According to Bellamy, the fort is currently open to the public every weekend.
