West Virginia Italian Heritage Festival 2006

Our first major event

From 01 to 03 September 2006, IL CIRCOLO CALABRESE attended the 27th annual West Virginia Italian Heritage Festival in Clarksburg, West Virginia, USA. This was the first time our organization has reached out to the public through such an event. We had a booth selling promotional items and attracting new members to our global organization! The event was a massive success!
