For those in Huntington who love great food, this weekend means one thing: Ribfest.
"Now this is fine eatin'," said Zach Bledsoe, of Huntington. "Ribs drippin' with sauce. What could be better?"
"Ribs everywhere, great music, it's a great way to spend a weekend," said Tim Warren of Lavalette. "My family loves to come down here."
Four vendors will show off their cooking at Harris Riverfront Park as part of Riverfront Ribfest VII.
Ribfest continues through 11 p.m. Sunday. But food is just part of the fun. Taking the stage at 9 p.m. tonight is Buckwheat Zydeco. The New Orleans band closed the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta and opened and closed President Clinton's 1997 inauguration. A petting zoo and kids games are part of the festivities with a classic car show allowing car enthusiasts to join the fun Sunday.
Admission is $2 for adults and $1 for children under 12. Games and activities are free of charge.
