Tourism and entertainment sites from all over the state flocked to the capitol to show what makes West Virginia “wild and wonderful.”
Pictured are three participating exhibits from Sculpted Air, Tasty Blend Foods, Inc., and Southern West Virginia Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Sculpted Air by Dizzy Doc is a professional entertainment business that takes the art of balloon animals to the next level. Dizzy Doc has been a balloon artist for 17 years and this marks his third year at the capitol. Today, he sculpted a balloon heart in honor of Valentine’s Day, but his largest piece was a model of the New River Gorge Bridge, which took him 48 hours to complete. He has also made a replica of the State Capitol, which stood at 22 and a half feet tall and 33 feet wide.
Tasty Blend Foods, Inc., is a company based in Fraziers Bottom, W.Va. Sales Manager Homer Combs presented samples of prepared mixes from his company. They have several food mixes available ranging from biscuit mix to mashed potatoes to desserts.
The Southern West Virginia Convention and Visitors Bureau also had an exhibit to showcase tourism in their area. Places such as the Hatfield-McCoy Trail, the Beckley Exhibition Coal Mine and the New River Gorge Bridge are just a few examples of what tourists and residents of the state can engage in.
Many other attractions were also featured throughout the capitol, creating a cornucopia of tourism opportunities.
