The Wheeling Gardening Symposium

Saturday 7:45 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.

As we start to see the first hints of color in our landscape and the weather is warming up, is there a better place to hang out then Oglebay Resort these days?

The Wheeling Gardening Symposium brings together people from all walks of life to meet and share a common mission, making our community more healthy and beautiful. It offers gardening enthusiasts a series of dynamic workshops presented by nationally recognized gardening experts and includes an opportunity to network and share expertise with gardening advocates from throughout the region.

Harmony House “Hope for Spring” Fling

Wheeling Nailers vs. Toledo Walleye

Wednesday 7 p.m.

Ok, we know Wednesday is not the weekend, but how else can we get the word out for this important matchup?  We don’t have the “Weelunk Weekdayer” yet! C’mon Wheeling! It’s game three of the first round of the playoffs, and they fought hard to make it this far.  Let’s support our Nailers.
