At Live on Levee, I discovered Slice on Wheels. They serve mini pizzas and a couple drinks. I went with a cheese pizza and orange slushie. Not a bad little pizza. A little bit of crisp on the bottom - not a ton. I wouldn't mind more. The orange slushie was so nostalgic for me - that was an A+. Grade: B

There are few things I love more than an adventure, food and farms. So, when Hazel Run Flower Farm combined all of these into a recent event, I couldn't get in my car fast enough. This beautiful Bruceton Mills farm offered u-pick flowers of all kinds to fill a cup for only $20. I made a beautiful bouquet and even got some grub.

Roots Bakery & Food Bus was the other food truck available at Veggie Man Day in Fairmont. They are based Chautauqua, New York. The most "Veggie Man" themed item I saw on the menu was the "Veggie (Man) Spring Rolls, which had ramen, pickled veggies, lettuce and sweet chili sauce. This was light but punchy. I really enjoyed the texture combo of chewy and crunchy.

Grade: A

Mag & Pops is a Morgantown-based food truck that attended Veggie Man Day in Fairmont. They had some Veggie Man-themed menu items. I went for the Pickleroni Roll (Veggie Man's favorite WV snack), which is a pepperoni rolls, stuffed with pickles and served with a side of spicy ranch. this was a fun take on a pepperoni roll. The pickles were interesting, but I did enjoy the spicy ranch side. Grade: B

Veggie Man is an obscure cryptid reportedly spotted near Fairmont, West Virginia, in 1968. The lone witness described a tall, lanky, humanoid creature — around 7 feet tall — with green, plant-like skin, red eyes, and long, thin arms ending in syringe-like fingers. According to the legend, the creature approached the witness in a friendly, almost hypnotic manner, and communicated telepathically. Without warning, the Veggie Man allegedly jabbed the witness with its sharp fingers, draining blood — then fled swiftly into the woods, emitting a high-pitched sound. Veggie Man Day 2025 took place on Saturday, July 12, from 11 AM to 5 PM at the Frank & Jane Gabor West Virginia Folklife Center on the Fairmont State University campus. This was the second annual celebration of the region’s homegrown cryptid legend, presented by Mothboys Podcast & ConjureDust Designs, with support from Marion County CVB, Cryptid Strength, and others. There were variety of cryptid‑themed artists — many focused on Veggie Man-specific designs — sold original posters, handcrafted figurines, stickers, and themed collectibles. One of my must-stops is always Liz Pavlovic, designer & illustrator based in Morgantown, who has cryptid‑themed art & merch, including her popular “Live, Laugh, Lurk” Mothman design. Not only is she the Mothman OG, she has cryptid-related glasswork that is part of the exhibit on display at the Folklife Center. Cool day all-around! I got a dozen cryptid-themed cookies from The Cookie Culprit, who is based in Wheeling. These were vanilla and chocolate flavored and just the cutest ever.
