First Lady Cathy Justice announced that her office will be hosting a West Virginia Birthday Punch Contest in honor of the state’s 160th birthday. You can create and submit an original (non-alcoholic) punch recipe and the top-prize winning recipe will be served at this year’s West Virginia Day Celebration at the Culture Center in Charleston on June 20, 2023. The First Lady said on the governor’s website that the recipe can be inspired by WV colors, Appalachian flavors, or it can be a family punch recipe. Recipe entries have to be made by June 2.
