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.

The following activities will occur on the weekends of Dec. 7, and Dec. 14:

Stonewall Resort will host a “Not-So-Silent Night Community Holiday Party” on Friday, Dec. 14. Guests are encouraged to come dressed in white, as this will be a memorable holiday black-light party.
