Everyone is invited to Oglebay’s WinterFest, which kicks off on Saturday, January 28 at Schenk Lake. One of the highlights of the event is the Polar Plunge, where brave participants jump into the freezing waters to raise funds for the Special Olympics of West Virginia.
Andy Brown, director of resort recreation, is excited for everyone to come together and have a great time. Participants in the Polar Plunge are encouraged to raise a minimum of $50. Visit oglebay.com/winterfest for more information.
That evening at 8 p.m., the Winterfest Party starts at Oglebay’s Pine Room with Gage Joseph and Billie Jo Jones.
