“ One of the key elements of the Young Guns sponsorship and reception attendance is the opportunity to not only introduce the beauty and offerings of Oglebay , but to also meet each year ’ s winners personally . It ’ s through those introductions that we have an opportunity to network with West Virginia ’ s next generation of community and business leaders while encouraging them in their future endeavors .”
– Herb Faulkenberry Vice President of Sales & Marketing Oglebay
