RAMP SEEKERS CAME FROM FAR AND WIDE - A Spring Tonic For Some

(04/16/2001)
The smell of ramps being cooked at the Upper West Fork VFD drifted across the West Fork to Route 16, announcing the annual ramp dinner held at the park for nearly thirty years. Hundreds came from far and wide to enjoy the oniony morsels, cooked to perfection in large skillets.

Ramp lovers could also be delighted with the other entrees from chicken and ham, beans and cornbread and dozens and dozens of home-cooked delights and salads. Then there was the biggest dessert table you ever saw.

The annual fundraiser is for the Upper West Fork Park and Fire Department. Next weekend, if you didn't get your fill, there will be another event at the Minnora Center on Saturday.
