4 Reasons To Hit Rib Fest 2016!
1. BBQ Ribs
2. Live Music
3. Cold Drinks
4. A Car Show – What Else Do You Need?
Professionals from across America will fire up their smokers for the 10th Annual Cheyenne Rib Fest. The Cheyenne Kiwanis Club, the City of Cheyenne and the Cheyenne Depot Museum will host the event Aug. 12, 13, and14 at the Cheyenne Depot Plaza.
Its three glorious days of delicious, irresistible ribs! There’s the “best rib competition” with rib cooks from down the block and around the country set to live music everyday. It’s fun for kids and adults who will all love the car show.
I wonder if someone will have a mustard based BBQ sauce. And there’s the dry rub ribs…. Mmmmm….. And there’s Johnson’s BBQ Sauce. His “Thermal Nuclear BBQ Sauce” needs you to sign a waiver before tasting. Its enough to make you blow off your diet!
