Ritchie County: Seventh Annual West Virginia Monarch Butterfly Festival

image

Many people will be following the Monarch butterflies to North Bend State Park in Ritchie County this weekend for the Seventh Annual West Virginia Monarch Butterfly Festival.

“It keeps growing each year and we keep getting more and more excited about the festival and what a weekend this weekend is going to be,“ Ashley Ness, one of the organizers, said.

The West Virginia Monarch Butterfly Festival opens Friday at North Bend State Park and runs through Monday.  At night, activities will change dramatically when they move to the Tyler County Speedway for the Black Diamond 125 which is now in its second year.

Ness says the butterflies bring peace and balance to his life and slow him down after his time on the racetrack.  He says he found them on a trip to Florida for a race.

“I’ve been a part of the rough and tumble auto racing world since the 1960s really and you know how rough and tumble it used to be, so I had to have one day a week when I could de-fry.“

Ness and his wife, Heather, now travel the state to educate people about the Monarch butterflies that flock to their Ritchie County farm, the AH-HA Butterfly Ranch which is home to 25 butterfly species total.

The Monarch butterfly is the state butterfly of West Virginia.
