All across Ontario communities celebrate rural life at their local fairs.\u00a0 Approximately one month from now the smells of ribs, the sounds and sights of a parade, the splashes at the dunk tank, the sounds of music, the noises from many animals, children playing, and the fair competitions mesh together during the annual community fair at Bayfield from August 19-21.<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0The Rib Fest will again be Friday night with four people preparing ribs with different flavours to suit a variety of tastes. \u00a0Cait Vail from Cait\u2019s Kitchen<\/b> and Pat and Kevin\u2019s on the Square<\/b> are new folks to the Rib Fest with some distinctive sauce flavours that will appeal to many of the ribs crowd.\u00a0 Devin Tabor, for Bon Vivant<\/b>, and Brian Garnet, of Let the Flames Begin<\/b>, will also be returning to provide their usual version of tasty ribs.\u00a0 The price for a half rack has been reduced this year to $18 and this year full racks will be sold for $26.\u00a0 The meal will consist of the ribs, a cob of locally sourced corn, coleslaw, and a drink.\u00a0 Samples of the ribs will sell for $2.\u00a0 The changes this year reflect the suggestions that were provided after last year\u2019s fest.\u00a0 Advanced sale of tickets has not been finalized but would be on the Ag Society\u2019s website.<\/p>\n
This year music will soothe the palate and soul of all those at the Rib Fest.\u00a0 Odd Soul Collective is a group of musicians from the Exeter area and will perform soul music until 9 p.m.<\/p>\n
