Hit the trails with our special Spring issue that also contains WV Living Healthy. You’ll discover our “Almost Heaven Seven” hiking trails, plus paths that are easily accessible and others that lead to fantastic fishing holes. Does that sound like a Charles Wesley Godwin song? You’ll read about him, too. We unveil the newly restored majestic Blue Sulphur Springs Pavilion, visit Parkersburg and Alderson, and celebrate Maloney’s Pub in Summersville, Wood Iron Eatery in Fayetteville, and McCormick’s Furniture in Logan. Need another reason to spring for this issue? We also appreciate some of our finest folks—our 2024 Possibilitarians and Champions of Care.
