Approximately 15,000 balloons were required to recreate the bridge, mountains and water down below. Balloon sculptor Aaron Hay and other balloon enthusiasts crafted this display as a part of FestivALL.
The goggles here are a […]

FestivALL is still going on with lots of exciting things for the whole family. This is all about ART, and as West Virginians (in my humble opinion) are an incredibly creative lot, there’s a lot to see and do!

We have a big need for a new animal shelter in our community. I used to volunteer as a dog walker and I know the condition of the building and […]

Saturday I took my family to the Capitol Grounds in Charleston. I went because it’s one of my favorite places and I hadn’t been there in so long. But I saw something that I just didn’t expect to see.
