State Fair Event Center

The State Fair Event Center is the only facility in Southern West Virginia that can offer over 40,000 square feet of covered, indoor exhibit space all with restroom and kitchen facilities. Whether you have been charged with planning your company’s annual business meeting, educational seminar or corporate conference, we’ve got the solution for you. Our facility is also perfectly suited for RV rallies, association rallies/conventions, weddings, anniversaries and reunions.

Read what one of our previous guests said about the State Fair of West Virginia Event Center:

“Your facility staff also provided excellent support throughout the process; from our initial planning stages to the actual event, to setting up tents, the banquet hall, shipping arrangements, the salon seating and receptions throughout the week, your staff went above and beyond the terms of our contract to assist us in making this a memorable Convention. Additionally, not only were the buildings clean and modern, they exceeded the needs of a group of our size, making it comfortable for our various sessions during the week.’

Sincerely,

Wm Shrewsbury/President – National Speleological Society
