Some of the biggest fall celebrations in the Ohio Valley are happening this weekend, all at Oglebay Park Resort.

On Friday afternoon, the ribbon gets cut kicking off Oglebayfest. The Ohio County Country Fair, held at the same time at Oglebay, starts as well. That evening begins another October staple, Boo at the Zoo, where folks young and old can trek through the Good Zoo and enjoy fun and frights while collecting treats along the way.

These events will bring thousands through Oglebay’s gates. They’ll have the opportunity to peruse produce and crafts from local artisans, both country fair favorites and upscale items, throughout the resort. They’ll enjoy food of all kinds. They’ll have the chance to catch up with friends as they walk through the different sites.

This weekend is one of the Ohio Valley’s real introductions to autumn and the joys that come with it. If you have the chance, take an afternoon or evening to see it for yourself.
