Hi, I'm Melody, your host of 100 Things WV, which follows a book I co-wrote, "100 Things to Do in West Virginia Before You Die", of the nearly the same name. It hit the bookshelves mid-March, and a statewide spring and summer book tour follows.

If you're eager to learn about West Virginia, through reminiscing the good ole days to hearing about new points of interest and the best things to do, then this is the podcast for you.

In episode #4, I chat with Mark Lewis, President & CEO of the Greater Parkersburg CVB. Mark is an expert in the area, and shares a look at the dynamic historical offerings, as well as where to eat, visit, and stay during your travels. We chat ghosts and haunted properties, upcoming events and festivals, outdoor recreation, Vaudeville camp, the oldest continually operating restaurant in the Mountain State, the amazing Blennerhassett Island State Park, Marietta's Castle, and much more.

Buckle in, it's going to be an interesting show!

Join me bi-monthly on #TravelTuesdays to chat everything related to WV...my Almost Heaven.
