We’re taking epic road trips across wild and wonderful West Virginia and celebrating the State Fair’s 100th year. We honor our Incredible Kids—proof that big things come in small packages—and introduce you to WVU’s new president. Explore White Sulphur Springs and dive into summer with snorkeling, FlingGolf, a mountain coaster, and more. Savor local flavor at Bullock Distillery, The Whipp, and our can’t-miss Dining Guide. This issue is your call to take the scenic route!
Taking the road less traveled may lead to the best road trip.
