Directions: Park Entrance is 1.7 miles from Interstate 64 at exit 18 turn toward rt60. At the light on rt60 turn right (west). From the next turning lane (100yds) turn left on Main Street, this will take you to the next signal light turn left for one block and turn right (at the next light). This road winds left and right past Barboursville Grade School and the VFD, at the first 4way stop sign turn left for one block and make a right (yield sign) on Martha Road. Park entrance is about a half mile on the right. If you start going downhill you've gone too far. Look for white signs thru downtown directing towards Barboursville Park. The town has a no sign policy, so event signs will not be apparent. Event venue is at picnic shelters on top of the hill in the park, again if you start going down hill you have gone past the last turn.
