WHEELING — With the long Labor Day weekend upon the Ohio Valley, there are plenty of activities throughout the region for families to enjoy as the summer season winds down.

Many of those activities will be found this weekend at Oglebay Park Resort. Not only will the traditional Fort Henry Days festival be held, but several other events are on the docket. Fort Henry Days, to run Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. at the resort’s Levenson Shelter and Camp Russel, brings visitors face to face with how 18th century life was led in the Ohio Valley.

Those who walk through the festival site will see blacksmithing, needlework and tanning, along with “Punch and Judy” children’s shows and food and brewing discussions and demonstrations. The highlight of the festival comes at 3 p.m. each day with a reenactment of the Battle for Fort Henry at the lower field at Camp Russel. Reenactors in period costume will portray settlers, including Betty Zane and her run for the gunpowder, British soldiers and Native Americans.

The fun isn’t sequestered to Fort Henry Days. The resort has a full menu of events for visitors to see. Among them is the annual Woodcarver’s Show at Oglebay’s Pine Room from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Sunday. Master woodcarvers from across the country will populate the Pine Room showing off their creations. — Art in Action
