Mercer County Convention and Visitors Bureau gives out cupcakes in honor of West Virginia Day

BLUEFIELD, Va. (WVVA) -In honor of West Virginia’s 161st Birthday the Mercer County Convention and Visitors Bureau set up at Thursday evening Ridge Runner game at Bowen Field.

The first 250 guests got to enjoy free cupcakes along with special giveaways throughout the game.

They also debuted their new selfie station for the community to capture moments at local events.

Executive Director Jamie Null of the Visitor Bureau hopes the community will use the station and share their creations with Visit Mercer County.

“We wanted something interactive for folks to do when they come to events that were set up and we really wanted to reach the younger generation,” said Null. “We have got this selfie booth, and it goes around to local events, and you can take pictures, you can use AI, props, you can do boomerangs, videos, and then you can text yourself the video. We hope that people will share it on social media to show what type of fun they’re having at Mercer County events.”

Null says the selfie station will be at Mercer Counties Cool Cruisin’ Nights on Mercer Street and Mercer County Fair.
