["Richwood, West Virginias Feast of the Ramson was first hosted for the public in 1938. The dinner is said to have evolved from a private ramp-focused meal/stag party, organized by 13 ramp lovers. The ramp dinner menu, currently priced at $15 for adults and $7 for children, includes ramps, potatoes, white beans, bacon, ham, cornbread, sassafras tea, homemade dessert. While the dinner was held previously at Richwood High School, in 2017, the event was relocated to Cherry River Elementary School after flood waters damaged the high school the year prior. The event also features musical performances and a downtown arts and crafts show. For more on ramps, see e-WV: https://www.wvencyclopedia.org/articles/1983"]%
