Naperville's summer is book-ended with fests. And, to start our summer out with a bang, on Saturday, June 30th, at Knoch Park, up till the last firework's boom on July 4th, there will be 17 rib vendors smoking, cooking, saucing and handing out ribs.

The event raises money to stop child abuse and domestic violence and is sponsored by the Naperville Exchange Club.

They have family games and entertainment, a main stage plus bands and music every night. It's not quiet! And, as my office is about a mile or so away, I bet we'll hear all the fireworks booms. And, they have so many people come out that they've set up shuttle buses to take folks to the park.

We not only have the top schools in the area...but we have the best ribs in the world. And additional food from Angelo's Catering to Suzie's Funnel Cakes (A to Z). And, all this for $8.00 if you get your tickets prior to the events.

If you're on a diet, this is not the place for you!
