WVU’s 150th birthday celebration continues this weekend as the Morgantown Farmers Market will turn gold and blue with special give-aways available at the WVU table. WVU Magazine’s Jake Stump will lead a read aloud of Musket’s Big Adventure Tuesday morning with students at Mylan Park Elementary. Musket himself will be at the Black Bears baseball game on July 1, when the first 500 people through the gate will get an ice cream bar, and there are special gifts for 150 people with a “birthday card” under their seats.
