“Coal Miners Appreciation Days” at Wheeling Cabela’s Huge Success The Wheeling Cabela’s location and the Friends of Coal teamed up over the July 4th weekend for the 2nd Annual “Coal Miners Appreciation Days” at the store. The event featured special discounts for all coal miners as well as a lineup of special events, including a concert by Chris Higbee, a visit from the Friends of Coal IHRA dragster and Championship IHRA Driver Greg Fowler and a book signing by author Stacie Vaughn Hutton of her best-selling book “Shovel Full of Sunshine.” The event ran on Friday, July 4th and Saturday, July 5th. Throughout the event, the Friends of Coal maintained a tent on site to encourage patrons to join the Friends of Coal and become advocates for the coal industry. In addition to the concert, several live remotes were conducted by local media outlets. The Cabela’s/Friends of Coal “Hometown Heroes” celebration is designed to support “Boatsy’s Boxes”, an organization that sends gift baskets to our military stationed overseas.
