Three people from Marshall County along with representatives from Hancock, Brooke and Ohio counties were among the participants at the annual West Virginia Department of Tourism Day event held at the state Capitol.
Representatives from Marshall County were Craig White, President of the Greater Moundsville CVB and General Manager of Grand Vue Park, Olivia Archey with CVB, and Tommy Haribol of Palace of Gold.
White said the event allows tourism staff from across the state to meet with state legislators and distribute information about different attractions.
One of the first people to visit your booth happened to be my daughter, Melinda Barrett, who works at the Capitol.
In addition to this meeting, White has already been to tourism-related events in Pittsburgh and Cleveland, and in two weeks he will be at a similar event in Washington, DC.

Karen Coffield claims that Limestone Presbyterian Church does not own the cemetery and that burial plots are deeded to the survivors of those buried there. She added that fewer burial sites remain, so less money goes into the maintenance account.
