Sponsored by Eastern’s Career Services Department and Pilgrim’s Pride, the event was designed as an evolution of the annual “Celebrate Moorefield” celebration. The goal was to spotlight and raise funds for both Eastern and local schools in Hardy County. Eastern’s picturesque campus was chosen as the ideal venue for this community event.<\/p>\n\n\n
