Winners Named At Ribfest

Close to 20,000 people streamed through the gates at this year's Sarnia Kinsmen Club's Ribfest in Centennial Park.

Jack the Ribber from London was judged to have the best overall ribs and best sauce.

Gator BBQ from Port Dover won the best chicken trophy while Gonzalez BBQ from London won the People's Choice Award.

Kinsmen spokesman Jack Struck says they don't have a final fundraising total yet.

He also tells Blackburn News that they'll likely return to a three-day format next year. Thursday night was rained out and the six ribbers, all who say they want to return next year, say four nights is simply too tiring, especially in the heat.
