Fenton Centennial Celebration Memories

For all of you who joined us at Fenton in Williamstown, WV for our five day celebration, thanks so very much. We couldn’t have done it without you! From the personalized Fenton family tours of the factory to the incredible live QVC broadcast, the edge of your seat moments at the dramatic Fenton auction to the magical moments spent decorating ornaments and just swapping experiences with family and friends both old and new, a great time was had by all.

Link to the centennial celebration site to view photo highlights of five action-packed days and nights. And remember, it took 100 years to reach our centennial, and the celebration continues throughout 2005! The Fenton Factory Tour remains one of the TOP 10 tours in America, as rated in USA Today, and tours continue throughout the year. Watch raw materials become molten glass which is shaped by artisans in the age-old tradition. Furnaces glow; sparks fly, and from heat, noise and motion emerge works of art that captivate and delight.

Throughout 2005 you can continue to enjoy special Centennial Events both near and far, including the ongoing exhibit “Fragile Art” at the Mansion Museum in Oglebay Park in Wheeling, WV (through October 15, 2005). The Museum of American Glass, located in Wheaton Village in Millville, New Jersey will host a centennial exhibit opening August 6 and running through November 13, 2005, while visitors to Milan Ohio will want to stop in at the Milan Historical Museum now through September 30, 2005 to experience their Fenton centennial exhibit.

On weekends throughout the year at Fenton, you can decorate your own Fenton Christmas ornament at the factory, and you can be a part of the Fenton experience “on the road” by visiting Fenton stores in the Polaris Fashion Place in Columbus, OH, in the brand-new Galleria at Pittsburgh Mills and at the fabulous Greenbrier resort in West Virginia.
