Community Table postponed due to weather

ELKINS — The fourth annual Community Table free event has been postponed until Wednesday, officials said.

According to a post on Beander’s social media, due to incoming inclement weather forecast for today, the Community Table event has been moved to Wednesday. It will still take place from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m on Davis Avenue.

The event is free to the public and includes around 15 local restaurants and businesses coming together to give away soup and bread to the community.

Community Table coordinator Desire Kniffen Watson told The Inter-Mountain, “I can’t stress enough how it’s such a beautiful thing to see this event come together. The very best part of Elkins is the people… To be able to do something that represents our beautiful giving nature, and to see all the local-owned businesses giving back to the community is just beautiful.”

“This is an event for everybody,” Watson said. “No matter what your age, no matter how much money you make, it’s a community togetherness project… This is really just about bringing people together.”

Watson said that officials are always hoping for a really good turnout, with last year seeing around 300 members of the community participating.

* Beander’s with zesty potato or ramp potato soup.
