* Get help from �experts,� like Wes Cochran, Esther Warner, and other well-known West Virginia genealogists, who will be on hand to offer help and guidance
* Tour and explore the �upper levels� where who-knows what can be found
PRIZE
* To the researcher that has traveled the farthest to spend some quality time with us!
