Tourism and Recreation in Jefferson County

The fifth Leadership Jefferson class just finished the Tourism and Recreation Module. The group visited the Shepherd University Wellness Center, Sam Michaels Park, the Epic Buffet at Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races, Grapes and Grain Gourmet wine shop, Harpers Ferry KOA, and Summit Point Raceway. Endorphins flowed as the participants sped around the track with Summit Point Karts. Competitive juices flowed with basketball, ping-pong, climbing, and bouncing, and then were calmed with some wine to end the day. Many thanks to the team that planned the event, in addition to the speakers, who included Joe Manchin, Ken Lowe, Al Britton, and others. Nelson Parkinson, a graduate of a previous Leadership Jefferson class, also spoke to the group about tourism in the County.
