Schenerlein said that Oglebay is believed to be the only self-sustaining municipal park system in the United States.


Among dozens of options from which to choose for ameeting or event,Oglebay fea- tures the Good Zoo, West Virginia’s only accredited zoo. The 30-acre facility is per- fect for an evening of fun for conference attendees.


The Festival of Lights will brighten up any function with hundreds of thousands of lights displayed on trees, buildings and landscape, providing more than 125-acres of magnificence over a seven-mile driving tour.


“A meeting in November or December at Oglebay comes alive with beauty,” said Schenerlein. “The festival began in 1985 and is still a crowd favorite. The show is nationally recognized on the American Bus Association’s list of top 100 events.”


The National Training Center at Oglebay is an example of the facility’s dedication to learning and training. For many years, Oglebay has hosted continuing education schools and conferences, such as Venue Management School that runs in conjunc- tion with the International Association of Venue Managers, Inc.


Ten schools span different subject matter, and each runs smoothly because of the professional, experienced staff. The benefits of learning in a beautiful environ- ment and the fact thatmeeting planners do not having to worry about the next step represent true value.


Service is an attitude and the lifeblood of any organization, and this is certainly true at Oglebay. Their knowledgeable staff understands the conference business and has the mindset that there is no extra step necessary in making a meeting successful.


Schenerlein said that “the extra step is already part of the process. We expect a flawlessmeeting that exceeds expectations - every time.”
