RE: St Clairsville Contest
Joe, if you're looking for something for your Significant Other in Wheeling, I'd suggest Oglebay Park. She could tour the Mansion Museum and the glass museum (this part of the Ohio Valley once produced a lot of fine glass) or just enjoy the natural surroundings. As Arch said, there is also Wheeling Island Casino and dog track if you have money to throw away. There is a wine and jazz festival scheduled for that Saturday between 4:00 and 10:00 PM in the Heritage Port area, a beautiful setting along the Ohio next to downtown.
There are several shopping areas but nothing really unique
