Did you know 1 in 4 students in West Virginia struggle to afford basic menstrual supplies due to financial constraints? ❤️‍🩹 We are beyond proud of Queen Kinley and her nonprofit, WV Flow Forward. Kinley has a passion for ending period poverty here in West Virginia.

Interested in helping Kinley? Send us a message and we can connect you two to help more West Virginians, together! 💙💛

Sharing Kinleys post here:

“School is starting back up, and you know what that means… DONATIONS ARE COMING SOON! 🩷✨

I’m SO excited to kick off another donation season with WV Flow Forward! 🥹🩷 Every year, I’m amazed by the amount of love and support this nonprofit receives, and I truly couldn’t do it without all of you.

A HUGE thank you to everyone who has donated, shared our posts, supported the mission, volunteered, or simply cheered me on along the way. Every single donation makes a difference and helps us get feminine hygiene products into the hands of those who need them. 🤍

I can’t wait to see what this school year brings! 👀📦🩷”

Wow… where do I even begin? 🤍✨

This weekend completely stole my heart.

The second I arrived in New Martinsville, I knew it was going to be something special. Everyone welcomed me with the biggest smiles, the warmest hugs, and so much kindness that I truly felt right at home from the very first moment. This community has such a beautiful way of making everyone feel like family, and I will forever be grateful that I got to experience that.🫶🏻🌈

Standing on stage and looking out at the crowd was one of those moments I’ll never forget. Seeing so many smiling faces, families making memories, kids laughing, people dancing, and everyone coming together reminded me why the Back Home Festival is so incredibly special. It isn’t just a festival—it’s a celebration of community, tradition, and making people feel like they belong. Now, getting to be part of that tradition is something I’ll treasure forever.☺️

One of my favorite parts of the weekend was getting to hula hoop my heart out with all the kids. Watching them laugh, dance, and have so much fun made my heart so happy. Those little moments are the ones I’ll remember forever.✨

Of course, I had to make my daily stop at SodaLicious… all three days! Safe to say it became part of my festival routine, and it was just as amazing every single time. I also got to try so much delicious food, shop with so many incredible vendors, and even found the cutest outfits that I already can’t wait to wear all year long. Every booth had something unique, and it was so much fun supporting all the amazing local businesses that help make this festival so special.🥤💗

And to everyone in New Martinsville—thank you. Thank you for making me laugh, dance, smile, and feel so incredibly loved all weekend long. Thank you for reminding me what community is all about. You made this girl from another part of West Virginia feel like she had found another place to call home.🤗

My heart is so full of gratitude, my camera roll is full of memories, and my feet are definitely tired from all the dancing. 😂💃 But if I could do it all over again tomorrow, I absolutely would.

Thank you, Back Home Festival, for reminding me that “home” isn’t always where you’re from—sometimes it’s the people who welcome you with open arms and make you feel like you’ve belonged there all along.

Until next time, New Martinsville… you’ll always have a special place in my heart. 🩷🏡✨👽✌🏼

One of the best parts of festival season is the friendships and connections we build across West Virginia. 💙💛

A big thank you to Michael, President of the West Virginia Association of Fairs & Festivals Board of Directors, and our reigning Association Queen, Kourtney, for spending part of your weekend with us at the Back Home Festival!

Our festival is incredibly proud to be a member of the West Virginia Association of Fairs & Festivals, and seeing the support returned means so much to our committee, our queens, and our community. We look forward to seeing both of you throughout the year, and before we know it, we’ll all be reunited at the 2027 West Virginia Association of Fairs & Festivals Convention this January.

Thank you again for supporting Back Home Festival.

Day 2 was nothing short of magical! I hope you’ll be joining us for our final day of music and fireworks. 🦋✨

Tomorrow is finally the day. 💚✌️

I cannot wait for all of our Back Home Festival family to meet Queen Kinley.

She is everything you’d hope for in a queen. She is kind, genuine, so so so fun, and always ready to jump right in. I have a feeling she’ll be barefoot in front of the stage, hula hooping with the rest of us in no time. 😆

It’s about to be the best weekend. Truly. The closer we get, the more emotional I become thinking about it all. The music, the laughter, the traditions, the people we’ve known forever, and the new friends we’ll meet along the way.

See you tomorrow, Back Homies. 💚☮️🌼
