There will be three ribbers wishing to attract you to their particular flavoured ribs this year. Smackwater Jacks (from Grand Bend) is a new ribber to the Bayfield scene and has a distinctive sauce flavour that will appeal to many. Devin Tabor, for Bon Vivant, is a recognized chef and ensures the ribs are cooked perfectly. Brian Garnet, from Let the Flames Begin, decided to provide choice to those attending by having two sauces to choose from.
The price for a half rack has been reduced this year to $18 and a full rack will be $26. The meal will consist of ribs, a cob of locally sourced corn, coleslaw, and a drink. A sample rib will sell for $2. Extra corn and drinks will also be sold for $2 each.
The ribs will be sold from 5 pm. to 9 or whenever they are sold out. There is lots of tent space if rain finally comes and there is lots of room in the arena. There will be music for most of the evening and the opening will be at 7 pm. with a dignitary competition following the opening. You get a chance to cheer on your favourite dignitaries as they complete the competition –Bayfield’s dignitary Olympics.
Support your fair by enjoying a good meal, music, competition, and all those staying to 9 pm. will enjoy fireworks.
