Lydia Yenser, Cassy Kashner, Caitlin Pennington, and Brian Martin win the trophy at the 2014 Ribfest.
Saturday, June 7 started with a 5K run for the Ribfest event in Antwerp, OH. It was beautiful weather and many people from all over the area showed up for this hometown event.
Aimee Lichty, Coordinator for the ACDC sponsored Ribfest at Antwerp, stated, “This was a difficult year for choosing the winner for the best ribs. The judges votes tied on two different vendors so the vote came down to the people. The people went back and forth and eventually the vote went to Puckerbrush of Payne, OH.”
Brian Martin, owner of Puckerbrush, said this was the first time he had entered in the Ribfest and he was very proud of the ribs he was serving. Clearly the people were too. The close second was Stella Blue.
Along with ribs being served, the Boy Scouts were making homemade french fries, and hot dogs and hamburgers were also there for the more traditional eaters.
The corn hole tournament was also going on in the fire station while all the food was being served. The band followed up later with the Wannabee’s at 6:00 p.m.
