Read what some of our previous guests have said about the State Fair of West Virginia Event Center:

"To Whom It May Concern,
The Annual Meeting of the West Virginia Baptist Convention was held October 22 - 24, 2009 at the fairgrounds.  Your staff was helpful, positive and added to the total experience of our days of meetings.  We found the fairgrounds to be a wonderful venue for our worship, workshops and fellowship.
Not only is your end of our state beautiful, your people are beautiful as well.  On many occasions folks went "above and beyond the call of duty" to meet our needs.  I would recommend the state fairgrounds for any style of religious gatherings.
Thank you...you were great hosts and we hope to visit with you in the future.
Blessings,
David L. Carrico
Executive Minister"
