rib fest

The Rotary Club of Nashua is hosting the 6th Annual Rock 'N Ribfest and the New Hampshire State Barbecue Championships from June 20nd - June 22nd. 

25,000 people attended last year and you won't want to miss this great family event!

The Ribfest takes place at the Anheuser-Busch Brewery in Merrimack, New Hampshire.\

Sunday June 22nd is military appreciation day.with free admission for active military personnel and active reserve personnel with a military ID and up to four family members. The Military Appreciation Day is co-sponsored by Anheuser-Busch and Nashua Rotary West

 

   The Rock ‘N Ribfest is also the official site for the NH State Barbecue Championship.award

Expert BBQ judges will sample food from over 30 of the best grillers and will name the NH State Barbecue Champion, who will go on to qualify for National Barbecue Championship in the fall.

  I first became aware of the Kansas City Barbeque Society championship through my brother and sister-in-law who travel all over the U.S. and find the perfect "Ribber."  You can see a list of the 2008 Ribbers here.

There is great entertainment for both Adults and Children

I am hoping to go, but right now it is possible I will have a conflict.   This event is so much fun -- I always eat too much though.

George~  I love ribs too.  The food is sooo good -- and some of the best ribbers on the East Coast -- it is so much fun.. and the music is great too.  So, for those who eat to many ribs -- then you dance the night away to all the great music!

Joan~   I don't know how the possible take-over is going to impact what is going on for the Rib Fest -- It will be interesting.  One of my clients that recently closed works for A-B -- I will have to check with him and see what employees are thinking about this!

Laura~  It's time to fire up the grills.  It looks like the weather will be pretty nice for the ribfest -- although there may be a possibility of a thunder storm!  We will keep our fingers crossed that it does come until the ribfest is over.

Ray and Duane ~  I promise my next post will not be about food!  The ribfest was a big success overall and there were a few moments that the weather didn't cooperate, but it made the event that much more fun!
