TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) – Friday afternoon, hundreds of Wabash Valley community members headed to Fairbanks Park for the annual Ribs on the River event.
The event which started Thursday and ends on Saturday, features live music and BBQ classics.
“It’s been awesome. Just been able to eat and being with my family, and the music,” said Cody Farris, local resident.
Food vendors, which come from all across America, say it takes days to prepare for this event.
“We did a lot of preparation just to get our sauce and our beans ready, then to blend our dry rub for our seasoning” said Tim Johnson, Timmy’s BBQ owner.
Timmy’s BBQ is based out of Garrett, Indiana, and it’s their first time coming to the Valley for this event.
Johnson says events like Ribs on the River bring people together.
“It brings out the best in everybody. People love food, people are addicted to BBQ right now, they want to see the different styles,” Johnson said.
Ribs on the River continues Saturday from 11 A.M. until 11 P.M.
