Organizer Sally Stollings said the Apple Butter Festival will have something for everyone.
"I think this year's festival will be the biggest we've ever had," Stollings said. "I've been doing this for 19 years and I think this will definitely be our biggest and best Apple Butter Festival.
"This is a festival for everybody. I think everyone should support functions in their municipality and their community. The kids love the Apple Butter Festival and everyone gets in free. I love it. It's a good, family-oriented weekend of fun. We just have a lot of fun."
Pro wrestling begins at 7:30 p.m. in the gym of the old Chapmanville High School building.
There will also be a car show on Saturday.
