Wheeling Heritage’s Show of Hands will return this Wednesday, July 26 at the Wheeling Artisan Center. Four local entrepreneurs will take the stage in the hopes of receiving more than $4,000 to support their business. Each business owner will have four minutes to make a pitch to the audience, explaining how additional funding through Show of Hands would positively impact their business and the community. The audience will then cast their votes, and the person with the most votes will take home the top prize.
Get to know the latest round of Show of Hands finalists by checking out these videos created by the Wheeling Heritage Media team, and we’ll see you tomorrow, July 26!
