This has been an exciting week - we were lucky enough to be allowed in side the basement (storage areas) of the W VA Cultural Center to visit the BLENKO and Made in WEST VIRGINIA glass collection. The cultural Center is currently under construction, so most of these glass displays have been closed for some time. However, the cultural Center is open - and has so many lovely displays - The first lady doll display is worth a drive to Charleston! Every display is first class - - - the time and effort these guys spend on research and exact placement is very apparent. NOW back to glass - I took photos - and we'll be posting them in the month of January. Let me encourage you now - to drive to Charleston (on your way to or from the BLENKO GLASS COMPANY IN MILTON) and visit the West Virginia Cultural Center, there is ample parking the campus of the State Capitol is open, squirrels, trees, open areas for children to run and play. Our State Capitol has to be one of the top 10 if not the most beautiful. I live in Charleston, and still enjoy taking friends from out of state to visit these buildings everyone is impressed. Take your children, your visiting relative, or go alone. The Capitol is beautiful and the Cultural Center has something for everyone! NOTE: Legislative Session Begins 2nd Week in January - Parking may be a bit of a problem for the 60 days of the Legislative Session. #2 Large Print is for the Senior Citizens from. Lewisburg, who write often to ask for large print, I try once every couple of weeks to do large print. IF IT annoys you let me know #3 I'll let you know when the 'new glass displays' are open!
