On Lewisburg's First Friday, September 4, from 5:00 pm until 8:00 pm., the Cooper Gallery is hosting an artist reception for Max Hayslette. Max Hayslette is a former West Virginian. He was born in Rupert in 1930. He had his first art show at the age of 16 in Rainelle, West Virginia. This year, Mr. Hayslette celebrates his 80th birthday.
Max Hayslette completed his studies at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1952, where he studed with Alexander Archipenko and Egon Weiner. He considers himself a romantic artist, one who seeks to give his work a warm and gentle, spiritual quality. His dreamy landscapes evoke sentiments of warmth, comfort and familiarity as they transport the viewer to numerous exotic destinations in the far corners of the world.
Max Hayslette is very versatile in his style. He paints traditional landscapes, as well as modern abstracts. Click here to read more about the artist. Below are two of his paintings that will be showcased at the Cooper Gallery.
My husband and I have had the pleasure of meeting Max Hayslette many times at the Cooper Gallery. In 2007, we purchased one of his art pieces… an Italian scene.
Marilyn Cooper, the proprietor, has been doing artist receptions since opening her gallery in 1995. Max Hayslette’s art has been showcased in the Coopery Gallery since 2004.
Stop by the Cooper Gallery and say "hello" to Max and view his paintings. You just may want to buy one.
The Gallery is located at 122 E. Washington Street, in Lewisburg.

My brother, niece, husband and I visited The Greenbrier Resort over the weekend. It was just for a day to show my niece, Hannah, this fantastic resort only ten miles from our home in Lewisburg, WV.
My niece was very impressed with The Greenbrier as we walked through the halls. She was amazed at the beautiful, fresh bouquet of flowers on the tables throughout the Resort.
Hallway Formal Dining Room
We loved the shops especially the women's clothing and jewelry shops. Our favorite stop was the Greenbrier Gourmet Shop where you will find everything for the kitchen, including food. Even my husband and brother liked this store.....for one reason....the food. While they enjoyed a cup of Starbucks coffee at the Gourmet Café, located inside the Gourmet Shoppe, my niece and I browsed through the Greenbrier's unique line of signature products. The Gourmet Shoppe carries the latest cooking tools and utensils, along with a vast selection of cookbooks.
While at the Greenbrier Gourmet Shoppe we were lucky to see a culinary demonstration by Michelle Masters. Michelle has been a Greenbrier Chef for 19 years, and was in the process of a demonstration. We were going to go to lunch, but decided to watch Michelle prepare fresh salmon and asparagus. It is always fun to watch food being prepared and you can always get some great tips....not to mention a sample.
Needless to say, I bought the skillet and sauces that were used to prepare the food. The food was prepared perfectly and everyone received a small plate of salmon and asparagus. Ummmm .....it was absolutely delicious.
Here is the recipe for the Wasabi Salmon:
It is so delicious and easy to prepare. If you cannot find the Wasabi Sauce, call the Greenbrier Gourmet Shoppe (800-321-1168), and they will be glad to mail an order.
If you are a guest at the Greenbrier or just stopping in to shop, or eat at one of the great restaurants, stop by the Gourmet Shoppe, browse, sip a Starbucks coffee, and watch one of Michelle's demonstrations. Her kitchen is opened at 11:00 a.m. and again at 2:00 p.m., from Tuesday through Saturday.

I had a closing on Thursday, August 6, which I would not be able to attend as I was having surgery at the UVA Hospital in Charlottesville, VA. The selling agent was from my office, and had informed me everything was ready and not to worry.
The following week I found out that there was a BIG problem. The lender for this loan, Taylor, Bean and Whittaker, a national mortgage lending company, had to cease all origination operations effective immediatetly, and would not be able to close or fund any mortgage loans currently pending in its pipeline.
Dianne Beale, Assistant VP, Mortgage Lending at the First National Bank was providing the VA lender. She had received word Tuesday, August 4th, about Taylor, Bean and Whitaker and our closing was to be on August 6th.
This could have been a calamity......but turned out to be a blessing because of Dianne Beale
As before, Dianne Beale and First National Bank Saved the day for me. The First National Bank took the loan at 100%, and the closing took place as scheduled. All parties were so relieved and it was a smooth closing after all.......thanks to Dianne Beale and the First National Bank.

Lewisburg WV real estate agent in Lewisburg, West Virginia with Coldwell Banker Stuart and Watts - In 2004, my husband and I were in West Virginia attending my nephews wedding. Afterwards, he suggested we drive to Lewisburg and checkout the area for a possible retirememt area. Well, we fell in love with this quaint historical town. We found a lot in Greenbrier Pines Subdivision, about a mile from the town of Lewisuburg. We purchased two lots for building our retirement home.
In 2005, while working and living in Arlington, Virginia, my husband and I started building our house in Lewisburg. We drove to Lewisburg every weekend during the building phase. We enjoyed getting out of the city, not to menton the traffic.
We stayed at the James Wylie House in White Sulphur Springs, and also at the Brier Inn in Lewisburg. At the James Wylie House, the owner of this Bed and Breakfast made us feel like we were family. The Brier Inn was closer to our building site, and also made us feel right at home.
Of course, the Greenbrier Resort is only ten minutes from Lewisburg. In 1778 (that's right, 1778), guests started flocking to the idyllic White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, resort for the supposed curative effects of the spring of sulphur water. Today, The Greenbrier is known for its golf, spa, and fine dining, not to mention loads of family activities like hiking, pony rides, kayaking -- even falconry! A four-and-a-half-hour drive outside Washington, D.C.,
The best thing about living here in Lewisburg is the people. Everyone is so friendly! I remember going into Cooper Art Gallery and being invited to their Friday evenings get together. We were told the best places to eat, best sites to visit, information on the Greenbrier Valley Theater, Carnegie Hall events, and so much more. We looked forward to going to Lewisburg every weekend, and we started to say "we are going home this weekend". Because, Lewisburg had become our home even before our house was completed.
The people are the best thing about Lewisburg. People will stop and let you get ahead of them in traffic. Strangers will smile at you. This hardly ever happens in the Washington DC Metro area. I remember the first weekend in Lewisburg, walking around the quaint town, strangers would smile and say "hello". The first Friday of each month, the stores are opened until 9:00 pm. One weekend, my brother was visiting from Tennessee, and since it was First Friday we went to town. He was astonished at the many people walking around in town after dark. Couples going to the theater or dinner, singles at the Irish Pub or Martini Bar, or couples pushing their babies in strollers browsing through the shops. He still visits us about once a month, as he loves Lewisburg.
Come visit Lewisburg...... You will absolutely love it here!
Greenbrier Valley is a region of diversity, from peaceful farmlands and historic towns to raging whitewater rivers. Resorts, outdoor dramas, parks, natural wonders and amazing engineering feats will entice you to this busy area. Here scenic beauty and wild rivers provide food for the soul, as well as, a feast for the eye. There are incredible state parks, adventures awaiting on the mild or wild whitewater of the region and hiking and biking on rail trails or on the backroads and forests of your choice. Once you explore the mountains and the valleys, the stunning scenery and still untamed terrain, the old railroad towns and the new centers of culture and commerce, you will want to live here!
