With all the money that the larger groups ... have coming in, not one of them actually reaches out to organizations in rural areas and offers to help," Patricia Bragg said in an e-mail Friday.

As the new operator of the Boone County Fairgrounds develops a marketing plan and a new name for the county-owned facility, one building at the 128-acre complex is still off-limits to spectator events because it does not meet fire code standards.

In 1991, the Coal River Council of the Joseph A. Holmes Safety organization and local supporters erected a 7-foot bronze statue on the front lawn of the Boone County Courthouse in recognition of all coal miners - past, present and future. The statue is symbolic of the history of Boone County and southern West Virginia where hard- working miners have provided well for their families for many generations and decades. Coal is America's energy source and the backbone of the economy in southern West Virginia. However, there are numerous well- financed organizations, many from outside West Virginia, that would like nothing better than to shut mining down completely, and if they get their way, there would be only past coal miners, no present or future.

Boone County long has been thought of as having a Teflon economy. As the markets on Wall Street ebb and flow, and as the state's economy dipped after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, Boone County seemed protected. The area's roots in higher education, insurance and medical care seemed to insulate it from outside pressure. But some watchers believe times are changing. Columbia's economy is slipping, at least a bit, when it comes to economic indicators, they say. Others say it continues to be robust and is poised to get better.
