Annual Picnic

The waterfront at Heritage Port in beautiful downtown Wheeling

                               
It's that time of year again when we start planning the Woodsdale Kids Picnic. This year it will be at our favorite Driehorst Shelter at Oglebay  from 2-7 pm on August 31. We are lucky that that is the same weekend that Fort Henry Days will take place at Site One in Oglebay. If you have never seen this incredible re-enactment of the siege of Fort Henry,  you are really missing out.

Betty Zane's famous run for gunpowder is re-enacted, there are knowledgeable specialists in Revolutionary War costumes, warfare, cooking, and fabulous vendors. This is a great opportunity to learn some local history. Bring your families and enjoy this unique peek at history then come on down to the picnic.

   As for the picnic, we are lucky enough this year to have representatives from Woodsdale United who will explain what developers intend to do to our old stomping grounds Stratford Hill...90 acres of mountaintop removal in the heart of Woodsdale. Their presentation will be at 5 pm.

  So bring something to BBQ, a dish to share, drinks, memories, smiles and laughter, and come celebrate the unique world that we called home, Woodsdale.

  I could use some help organizing, etc so if you live in Wheeling and can help call me please (Kate) at 304-242-4894. See you there!
