Ribfest

On Sunday, during our visit to relatives in St. Catherines, we took time to explore a happening that Michael and I had not seen before- a Ribfest. We just wanted to take a walk after lunch and a 3 1/2 hour drive to St. Catherines to visit our relatives. Normally, the drive is 1 1/2 hours at the worst but this Sunday from Mississauga, outside the city until St. Catherines we never got up to 100 km per hour. Most of the drive we cruised along at a breathtaking speed of 30 km. per hour. I managed to finish another one of my scarves during the drive.

We were not eager to visit Ribfest since we do not normally eat ribs and eat red meat only a couple times a year. Our digistive tracts have trouble with red meat because we tend stick with chicken, fish or purely vegetarian dishes. We changed our minds about ribs once we were close enough to enjoy the aroma of the ribs being barbecued. The number of people and festive atmosphere was a pleasant surprise.

This is really serious stuff, we decided when we saw the trophies on display and also the banners declaring where the particular group was from and what categories it had one. A participant can win for best ribs, chicken, sauce and I am sure there are other categories that I did not notice.

In two weeks, we are visiting Cobourg to go on a ghost walk in the evening but I am sure that we will manage to get to the ribfest in the afternoon. Hope that I am ready for this.
