Fasnacht
2022-02-26 15:00 - 19:00 UTC | Helvetia, WV 26234, USA, 100 Old Helvetia Rd, United States
Helvetia welcomes you to join us to celebrate our roughly 55th Fasnacht on February 26, 2022. And while the fashion in which we celebrate is changing, the meaning is not.
An entirely outdoor event (barring a public health disaster or terrible weather), we invite you to join us from 3pm to 7pm for a celebration of winter, the changing seasons, and a pre-Lenten tradition that dates back to 1520 in Switzerland.

We will enjoy fatty foods, listen to our beloved Helvetia Star Band, wear homemade masks to scare away Covid…ahem, I mean…Old Man Winter, parade with lampions, and burn an effigy of the Old Man in hopes for a healthy and happy spring.
Please join us, double masked [wink], for a celebration that is dear to our community. We only ask that you participate with care and with public health in mind as our aging community needs lots of tenderness these days.

Masquerade – donations appreciated ($10 per adult suggested) includes entry into masked party, light refreshments, toy prize for the children, and attendance to bonfire for the burning of Old Man Winter.
Bring CASH because many local businesses do not accept credit cards. Also, visit www.helvetiawv.com for directions and more information about the community.
FOOD & LODGING:
Beekeeper Inn – 304-924-6435
Hütte Restaurant – 304-924-6435
Swiss Roots Store & Inn – 304-924-9100
This event is subject to change given the uncertainty of public health. We will be monitoring COVID percentages across the state. If the spread is above 20% the week of our celebration, we may cancel given our elderly community and the fact that our volunteers may be more limited. We’re going to try very hard to hold the event.
Be happy and be well.

Beyond the Stigma: A Free Training for the Community
2022-03-08 12:00 UTC
Many businesses are struggling to fill open positions right now. This is partly because of a shortage of people seeking work, of course. But is it possible that inaccurate stereotypes and unfair perceptions keep some employers from considering all possible candidates?

Negative beliefs about people recovering from addiction, or substance abuse disorder, include the assumption that they are unreliable and will eventually relapse. But most people who seek recovery from addiction do succeed.
It’s true: Addiction, or substance use disorder, is a treatable chronic health condition.

But negative attitudes about people suffering from this disorder make recovery much harder than it needs to be. When we judge and stigmatize people working on getting their lives back on track after addiction, we make it harder to seek treatment, gain employment, and even find housing.

You can help the many people in our community battling negative perceptions about addiction as they do the hard work of getting better and getting their lives on track—and you might just find your next employee, tenant, or friend by doing so.

Sign up today for a free Addressing Stigma training session designed to help you counter the negative forces of stigma in our community. The training, presented by West Virginia Prevention Solutions, will be offered as either an in-person or online Zoom-based session.

Online Zoom Session
Date: March 8
Time: 12 p.m.

In late winter, here in our mountains surrounding Pickens, when nights are freezing and days begin to warm, it’s maple sugaring time!
West Virginia has a long history of sugar making. The indigenous population made syrup first. The early settlers quickly learned to make the sweet stuff and use it as their main source of sugar. Today, maple syrup and sugar are widely used in cooking, baking, and as toppings.
Join us in Pickens for a full weekend of activities celebrating this tradition each year on the third full weekend in March!
