SHEPHERDSTOWN -- A crowd of a hundred or more clapped as Miss West Virginia 2023 Karrington Childress cut the ribbon for Jefferson County's own Almost Heaven Swing in the middle of James Rumsey Monument & Park on Saturday morning.

The idea for the placement of the swing was inspired by a speech given by Childress to the Rotary Club of Shepherdstown two years ago. According to club member Rick Caruso, her advocacy for the new attractions being established across the state struck a chord with many members of the club, who were committed to improving and promoting the local area.
