What People Are Saying
This was a very organized event and the best ribfest ever. Volunteers cleaned up litter constantly and handled the recyling stations with speed. The Tom Barlow band was the best. Tom Barlow is an exceptional entertainer and singer. He did an incredible rendition of “Hallelujah” Loved that he performed MIAs Paper Planes
