Stonewall Resort offers holiday events and activities

ROANOKE, W.Va. — Stonewall Resort is hosting a series of holiday-themed events with activities scheduled each weekend in December, running through New Year’s Day.

“We call these event and activity-filled weekends ‘The Season of Comfort and Joy’ to encourage people to celebrate this special time of the year with family or loved-ones in the cozy, amenity-filled confines of Stonewall Resort,” said André D’Amour, general manager of Stonewall Resort

The resort’s Christmas Day Family Supper in Stillwaters Restaurant is on Dec. 25, and features traditional and nontraditional holiday favorites from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Call 304-269-7400 to make reservations.

West Virginia’s premier comedy troupe, The Fearless Fools, will conduct a live comedy show on Sunday, Dec. 30, at 8 p.m. This performance will feature improvisational comedy akin to the “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” TV show. To book a reservation, contact the resort at 304-269-7400.
