WEST VIRGINIA

Glassblowers at work, a coal mine visitors can enter and a movie of the nation's newest radio telescope are among the spectacles in the West Virginia pavilion. Visitors enter past an aviary of birds from the state. Artisans whose specialties vary from month to month (sometimes banjos, sometimes quilts) demonstrate the many skills of West Virginia's people. There are industrial displays, and for tourists, panoramas of the state's scenery and year-round attractions. A restaurant is on the premises, as is a gift shop offering such state souvenirs as a coal miner's cap. Every visitor to the pavilion is given a free ticket; at the end of the Fair, a lucky ticket holder wins 10 acres of West Virginia mountaintop plus a brand-new vacation lodge.

Although a low-key and modest pavilion, West Virginia offered a variety of attractions to visitors. (CD15 Set 75 #18)
