WHO: Gov. Jim Justice, Secretary of the West Virginia Department of Tourism Chelsea Ruby, Executive Director of the Hatfield McCoy Regional Recreation Authority Jeffrey Lusk.
WHAT: Gov. Justice will join the Department of Tourism and the Hatfield-McCoy Regional Recreation Authority to announce the winners of their 2022 West Virginia UTV Giveaway.
Two lucky winners will drive away with brand-new 2023 Kawasaki Teryx four-seater UTV’s in Metallic Sierra Blue.
The giveaway, which ran last year, translated into over 16,000 new riders visiting the trails in about a 60-day period. Permit sales for the contest period exceeded 2021 record setting sales. Over 80 percent of these permits were sold to non-West Virginia residents, resulting in an estimated over 50,000 visitor overnight stays.
The event will also highlight recent economic development projects supporting the trail system.
WHEN: Tomorrow, Tuesday, April 18, 2023, at 4:00 p.m.
