What ’ s new and exciting in Wheeling ? There are some exciting new things happening at Oglebay Resort , including the recently remodeled West Family Wing , plus cool amenities such as the Aerial Adventure Course and outdoor bistro . Renovations are complete at the Capitol Theatre and WesBanco Arena . Our historical Centre Market shopping district has locally owned stores , eateries , bakeries and more lining the two Civil War-era market houses .
What are some of Wheeling ’ s other top attractions ? Wheeling is home to West Virginia Independence Hall , the birthplace of West Virginia . It was in this building where the Wheeling conventions were held , and where the creation of the state of West Virginia was decided . Today it is a free museum as part of the West Virginia Division of Culture and History .
How did you find yourself working at the Wheeling CVB ? I started at the Wheeling CVB in 2010 as an intern . I began working full-time in 2013 and have never looked back . Best job ever !
What ’ s your favorite hobby ? I co-host a polka radio program with my father called “ The Polka Showcase .” We broadcast every Sunday on two Wheeling-based radio stations and stream live online as well .
Do you have a favorite destination you ’ ve traveled to ? Every June , my friends and I journey to the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Manchester , Tennessee . I have made so many friends and memories since we took our first trip in 2010 .

What unique experiences does Scenic Safaris offer travelers ? Scenic Safaris has the privilege of sharing Yellowstone , the world ’ s first national park , and its neighbor , Grand Teton National Park , with both domestic and international travelers . In the winter , we use snowmobiles and snowcoaches to access and admire the parks and the surrounding areas . In the summer , we visit many of the same areas , but we use a combination of luxury touring vans and all-terrain vehicles .
How did Scenic Safaris get its start ? Scenic Safaris purchased an existing snowmobile operation in 2010 . We immediately began a summer operation to include wildlife trips , UTV trips and ATV trips — both guided and unguided . Four years later , we were selected by the National Park Service to operate and control the majority of the winteruse permits for the south entrance of Yellowstone National Park . Since 2014 , we have increased our operation to include additional activities for guests . In fact , we are currently the largest motorizedactivity company in Jackson , Wyoming .
I love my job because … I am surrounded by people who take care of their guests and take care of each other . It ’ s easy to get up and go to work when everyone is on the same team .
What are your favorite tunes right now ? I listen to almost any kind of music . If I am going to dance , I like good country music . If I am driving or riding snowmobiles , I really like instrumental music and
rock . I will be honest ; some of my favorite music is orchestral music .
