It's been the entire year in the making, and now Fenton Art Glass is finally turning 100!

The glass company's 100th anniversary is Wednesday, and Gov. Manchin is helping celebrate. He'll learn how to make glass from the best after giving a short speech.

Dealers nationwide will join Gov. Manchin for the centennial.

Fenton was founded in 1905 as a glass decorating company, and it's now in its fourth generation of family ownership.
