Welcome back Frequent Mountaineer Media Flyers or if you're flying with us for the first time, it's great to have you onboard. This is Cooper your captain speaking, (AKA Co-founder of Mountaineer Media).

Sticking with my pilot theme here, I was on a flight recently and took the opportunity to organize a list of events in West Virginia that I found interesting. I stopped at June 2024, partly because I ran out of time and partly because the dates and locations of 2nd half of the year events were not finalized. Stay tuned later in the New Year for my 2nd list.
