Morgantown’s Outdoor Wonderland

One of our favorite places to get out and get moving is Cooper’s Rock. Located just a few miles out of town is a great place to do, well, just about anything! It is a beautiful park with miles of woods, trails, cliffs, rocks and scenic views. There are picnic areas to take the family or significant other, as well as places to do some of the activities we’ve talked about the last couple of months. You can walk, hike, ride bikes, fish, hunt, longboard or even repel! Bring your dogs, who can swim in the pond. For the younger ones there are playgrounds. There are various opportunities for photographic scenes and wonderful vistas. You can even camp, with reasonable rates. I love to load my dogs into the car and go out to Coopers Rock to do some fishing at the stocked trout lake. The Park Rangers are friendly and helpful, even once being as kind as to return one of my dogs that had gotten away from me and wondered off. All in all, I would recommend Cooper’s Rock State Park to anyone that wants a break from the hassles of Morgantown to a beautiful park with near limitless activities. Nothing refreshes after a long, hum-drum day of work like a stroll around this outdoor wonderland. [nggallery id=29]

Nico Spalon RetroHair Photoshoot!

retrohair-shot-groupThe last weekend in July, Nico was proud to host a photo shoot for RetroHair, based out of Pittsburgh, PA. On Saturday there was an open modeling call, with chosen models being shot on Sunday and Monday. There was so much going on, but it was all very exciting! We had very beautiful models, great designers, and a great photographer. These pictures will be featured in national print campaigns, as well as trade shows, and outdoor boards. It was an honor to work with such prestigious figures as Gino Martino, Bob Campione, and Bill Gunzburg. The hair that was done for the shoot was just as stunning as the models, and our team drew inspiration from this, as well as picking up new techniques. Thank you to the Retro team, as well as all the models that came out and participated in the model call, and the shooting. Keep an eye out because Nico will be looking for local models again soon!
