Third Annual Hendricks County Rib-Fest - June 30th, 2007
The Avon-Washington Township Park will host the third annual Hendricks County Rib-Fest on June 30th. The festival will run from 5pm - 10pm that Saturday. Hendricks Regional Health has partnered with the Avon Chamber of Commerce to become "full slab" sponsors of the event. Additional sponsors include The Hendricks County Convention and Visitors Bureau, The Flyer Group, Andy Mohr Automotive Group, Hendricks Power Cooperative, Bluegreen Trave, Duke Energy and The Town of Avon.
The competition begins when celebrity judges Angel Ganote from FOX 59 News and Indiana House Representative Matt Whetstone try food from the competing vendors to find "The Best Ribs" & "The Best Sauce". There will also be the same catagories chosen by the crowd favorites. The winners will receive prize plaques at the end of the festival, as well as the bragging rights within their respective catagories for the next year.
Hendricks Regional Health will be sponsoring a toy drive to benefit local charity Project A.N.G.E.L., the hospital is asking for attendees to this year's Rib-Fest to bring a new unwrapped toy to the Treat People Better Truck that will be at the event.
The event will also be host to live entertainment by Jimmy Ryser and Knee Deep in the Weeds. Other festivities include The Colts in Motion fan bus, family activities hosted by the Avon-Washington Township Fire Dept., Project A.N.G.E.L. and Harmony Baptist Church and a gala fireworks display sponsored by The Town of Avon will cap off the evening.
