Horseshoe Leadership Center, serving children and youth since 1940 in the Monongahela National Forest, welcomes the community to attend our 81st Anniversary Horseshoe Homecoming weekend August 27-29, including a Farm to Table Banquet Fundraiser on Sunday, August 29 at 1 p.m.

Come join friends and neighbors for all or part of the weekend celebration featuring home-style meals, campfires, hikes, storytelling, and fun for all ages. The weekend will conclude with a delicious four-course meal in the chestnut-paneled dining hall built by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). Each course features locally sourced, in-season gourmet foods prepared by renowned chefs and culinary professionals.

A silent auction as well as live auction after the meal will feature artisan items including a handmade quilt from the Horseshoe Heritage Arts Quilt Retreat participants, handcrafted wooden bowls, blacksmith art by Lucas Warner Silver + Steel, watercolor art, homemade foods, wines, and more. 

All proceeds from the banquet and auction will support the Ohio-West Virginia Youth Leadership Association (YLA)’s mission in providing youth leadership programs at Camp Horseshoe and other programs throughout West Virginia and Ohio.

Banquet tickets are available for $50 per adult, reduced prices available for children and students. To receive additional information on the weekend events or to RSVP, call 304-478-2481 or email sharon@yla-youthleadership.org.
