Wednesday, August 17th was Friends of Coal Day at the West Virginia State Fair. The FOC was the official named sponsor of the event for that day. Representatives of the FOC manned an information table at the Fair, passing out literature, stickers, yard signs, wristbands and other items for both the Friends of Coal and FACES of Coal, as well as flyers supporting HR 2018.
The Friends of Coal were also on hand to share the FACES of Coal informational table on Thursday August 18th.
It is estimated that more than 2,500 people stopped by the booth on Wednesday and a slightly smaller number stopped by on Thursday. Citizens for Coal also participated on both days.
