Ribfest 2008

After spending an entire weekend looking for fun elsewhere, we had the best time back home in Naperville at the annual Ribfest. The event attracts thousands of people from miles around, parking is horrible and the fest certainly has a different feel to other Naperville events, but there is nothing like it.

We felt we had a taste of home eating at this stand, although the ribs turned out to be Australian.

I've heard of choosing your lobster from a tank for dinner, but this is just wrong!

This is the correct way to make mouthwatering ribs...

..or you could do it like this..

As well as food there's great entertainment. This year's included Trace Adkins, R.E.O. Speedwagon, Joan Jett and the Blackheads..

..and the Average White Band
