To preserve the history of area sports, the Ohio Valley Athletic Conference
has announced the formation of the OVAC Sports Museum which will be located
throughout the halls of the Wesbanco Arena in Wheeling.
Eight 12-foot wide by 8-foot high and 4-foot deep display cases featuring
the various sports and eras will be located in the coves between the stairways
leading to the upper level seating. Also, each of the current 46 member
schools of the OVAC will have separate display boxes highlighting their history
and district. These cases will be located throughout the Arena.
A major portion of the museum's success will come with the help of Project
Best, a coalition of selected Trade Unions that have pledged their support.
Orphy Klempa with UBC 3 pledged the support of the Carpenters, as did Reps from
the Painters and Plasterers and the Electricians.
