The Country's favorite free rib festival is back!! This year's Best in the West Nugget Rib Cook-off, the 21st annual, will run Wednesday, September 2 through Monday September 7, once again transforming the Labor Day holiday on Victorian Square in downtown Sparks to a must-attend culinary, music,craft and family end-of-summer affair.
The International Federation of Competitive Eating (IFOCE) hosts the rib eating competition and the country's best competitive eaters will vie for $5,000 and the title of World Champion. Last year the legendary world No.1 ranked eater consumed 9.8lbs of rib meat in 12 minutes to set up a new world record.
There is a huge entertainment line up on various stages including Grammy award winning Jonny Lang.
Once again I'll be on one of the beer booths where the proceeds go to the Veteran's Guest House. Come by & visit!!
This is a fabulous FREE event for all the family.
