Editor, News-Register:

On behalf of the Chippewa Lake Water Ski Show Team we want to thank Easterseals, the city of Wheeling and the community who attended the Ohio River Splashtacular. As team show director for this event, I spent time working with Easterseals and Betsy Bethel-McFarland and her fabulous committee. Their attention to detail and passion was impressive and contagious.

Additionally, with challenging river conditions, the Wheeling Fire and Police were nothing short of amazing! They couldn’t have been more helpful and proactively addressed challenges making the water ski show possible and safe for skiers and spectators.

The Chippewa Lake Water Ski Show Team had an outstanding experience and absolutely love the beautiful tHeritage Port Park and appreciate the opportunity to bring world class water skiing to Wheeling. Thank you to everyone involved!
