Came for the ribs, stayed for the music! 🎶

Thank you to our incredible sponsors, without you this event would not be possible. Thank you to our teams for spending the day cooking on Main Street so we can all enjoy some great food. Thank you to our vendors, you fill the streets with food and fun things to buy. Thank you to all of our great entertainment, you guys rock! Thank you to the Chamber Board and our most amazing volunteers. Many hands make light work even when there is only a few of us. Thank you to the community for showing up and supporting Best of the West Ribfest. 🎉

Mom and dad you did a great job raising these young men. They jumped right in and hauled sandbags for us this morning. They were very polite and willing to help.
