WHEELING, W.Va. — Families attending this year’s Ohio County Fair will have two additional entertainment options thanks to a donation from the Wheeling Rotary Club.
During a presentation Tuesday, Wheeling Rotary President Jamie Crow presented fair organizers with a $500 contribution to help fund two outdoor movie nights during the annual event.
Held in conjunction with Oglebayfest, the Ohio County Fair is known for celebrating the region’s agricultural traditions through popular attractions such as 4-H exhibits, livestock competitions and unique contests. Organizers say the addition of family-friendly movies will provide another activity for fairgoers of all ages.
According to fair officials, Disney and Pixar’s “Cars” will be shown on Friday, Oct. 2, followed by “Paddington 2” on Saturday, Oct. 3.
Ohio County Fair Board Member Nancy Lewis said the donation helps make it easier for families to enjoy affordable entertainment together.
The Ohio County Fair remains one of the Ohio Valley’s longstanding community traditions, bringing together residents to celebrate local agriculture, family activities and regional heritage.
