31st Annual Rib-Off to Rock the End of Summer
The Yark Automotive Group 31st Annual Northwest Ohio Rib-Off, presented by The Blade, will take place August 7, 8, 9 and 10, 2014 at the Lucas County Fairgrounds in Maumee, it was announced today.
The Rib-Off closes out the summer of its thirty-first year with mouth-watering BBQ alongside performances by War and Ted Nugent.
?“We are excited to present the Rib-Off again,” says Mike Mori, director of sales for The Blade and director of the event. “This is one of the highlights of the summer in Northwest Ohio, and we’re proud to be able to bring it to our readers.”
The air at the Lucas County Fairgrounds will be filled once again with thick smoke from grills, smokers, and cookers. Award winning BBQers from across the nation will be in attendance, along with Toledo’s local favorites, all competing to take home the People’s Choice Award and Best In Northwest Ohio.
Many of these vendors are the same national award-winning grill-masters who take their delicious outdoor cuisine to competitions all across the nation, so it’s sure to offer a wide variety of tastes from all over the country.
Nothing goes better with savory BBQ than a rocking band. Thursday night will showcase American funk band, War; Friday features Detroit native, rock legend Ted Nugent. The entertainment for Saturday evening will be announced at a later date.
