About the Event
The Upshur County Public Library transforms into a high class dining experience once again! The 29th annual Gourmet Ramp Extravaganza kicks off at 5:00 p.m. on Friday, April 12th. It is brought to you by Chef Dale Hawkins of Fish Hawk Acres, and the evening’s entertainment is provided by Key to Adam, a local guitar and violin duo. We are planning for a large crowd and have added an additional serving line this year. Take out is also an option, though we would love for you to experience the ambiance of the library while you are eating.
This culinary experience is available only once a year and has been a tradition in Upshur County since 1994. Since 1979, the mission of the Upshur County Public Library has been to provide our community with lifelong learning opportunities by providing access to materials, services, technologies and programs for patrons of all ages. These programs and services are only possible through active and sustained community support.
This is a unique opportunity to sample the following gourmet ramp dishes. If you would like the non-ramp version of the meal, please specify when reserving your ticket.
