West Virginia Preparing For The Christmas Season
With a flip of a switch, the 25th. anniversary of the Oglebay Winter Festival of Lights, West Virginia's largest holiday attraction, became a part of the scene Thursday afternoon at Oglebay Park in Wheeling. While lights are on every evening through January 3rd., officials say they estimate at least 250,000 people will drive through the display, which has added four new attractions and moved other favorites to new locations.
On Friday, the Charleston Salvation Army officially kicked off its annual Christmas Kettle Campaign outside the Charleston Town Center Mall in Kanawha County. Their goal is to raise at least $250,000 for more than 2,000 children signed up for the Angel Tree. Volunteer bell ringers are being sought to help with the drive.
