JENNIFER JETT PREZKOP
CELEBRATE
For the Fall 2017 issue of West Virginia
Executive (WVE) magazine, readers were
re-introduced to the many positive at-
tributes of the Eastern Panhandle. The
Jefferson County Convention & Visitors
Bureau sponsored the Young Guns Class
of 2018 photo shoot, during which many
favorite locales were highlighted, and the
issue’s Celebrate Eastern Panhandle sec-
tion recognized businesses and organi-
zations finding success in the northeast
region of the state.
On November 30, the staff of WVE
joined the Celebrate Eastern Panhandle
sponsors to host a special reception at the
Bavarian Inn in Shepherdstown. The inn,
decorated for the holiday season, provid-
ed an elegant backdrop for the gathering
of area business leaders, who spent the
evening discussing the many successes
of the Eastern Panhandle as well as the
future of West Virginia.
“Doing business in a region of West Virginia
where, when traveling from Charleston, you
have to go outside of the state to reach it makes
events that celebrate the Eastern Panhandle
special in showing us that we haven't been
overlooked. I hope one of the impressions
visitors to our area leave with is how much
pride, enthusiasm, passion, esprit décor,
professionalism and high participation our
business leaders have for the promotion of our
special piece of West Virginia. Having any event
hosted at the Bavarian Inn is always special, as
its commitment to excellence shines through
and gives our area a nice stamp of quality.
Recognition and statewide publication of our
local Young Gun leaders and the vision they
hold for West Virginia offers soul-soothing
positive excitement for our future.”
