APA Fall Meeting – Save the Date
The Asphalt Pavement Association of West Virginia (APAWV) is heading toward Beckley, West Virginia for their Fall Conference. This year the asphalt industry will be returning after nearly 10 years to The Resort at Glade Springs. This family-oriented event will take place October 10-13, 2024, and as always, provides entertainment and fun for all ages.
Tee off on one of the three local golf courses, the Cobb, Stonehaven, or Woodhaven, each offering challenges for golfers of all skill levels. Glade Springs is also home to sport shooting, disk golf, archery, hiking, tennis and many other outdoor activities. If you would like to venture off-property and get a little more adventurous, take a short trip out to the New River Gorge to explore the gorge, the bridge, and much more. Glade Springs also offers laser tag, bowling, basketball courts, pools, escape rooms and a movie theater all in its Leisure Center.
October is also a haunting time at Glade Springs. Come and celebrate their 14th “year of fear” with their Fright Nights haunted attraction. Meeting attendees will get a special treat on Saturday with an exclusive look at the haunted house, as well as other activities for all ages. To continue Saturdays fun, our Saturday night reception will be a Halloween theme part, members are encouraged to attend with their favorite costume.
Additional conference information and agenda will be available in future Highway/Heavy Bulletins and on www.asphaltwv.com.

Olivia fell into the asphalt industry while still in college, and got a summer internship working in a quality control lab. She says, “I loved this job so much I immediately joined the Shelly Company full time after I graduated in 2019. During my time there I worked in construction scheduling and mainly estimating. I was fortunate to work with many crews and be exposed to many parts of the company that gave me appreciation for the industry as a whole.”
