Vault Dwellers!

It's reclamation day! Help us raise money and collect supplies for phase two of life-rebuilding in Weston and Buckhannon, WV, after record flooding on July 21, 2026.

All donations will go to Lewis and Upshur counties (North Central WV HeartHouse and Parish House distribution).

This event is indoors at the old Camden Hotel lobby in Weston, WV.
Put on your vault suits, or practice wearing Appalachian clothing to re-acclimate outside of the vault!

There will be an online silent auction available in person and for US shipping!

For folks interested in helping our town.

Our town, house, and workshop were affected by the horrible flash flooding in Buckhannon, WV. Unfortunately we will have to cancel our trip to GCX. We are very disappointed and saddened we have to miss it but are glad we are okay and not as affected as others.

We have feet of water in our basement and water splashes into the workshop every time a big truck drives by.

Right now people are unable to get out of the city unless they have a large truck or are emergency vehicles. Keep WV in your thoughts. We will update as fundraisers or donation opportunities for Buckhannon and Weston come up.

In a few days we'll be back at GCX but instead of hanging out we'll be displaying our Fallout 76 monsters with the Tyler...
