It is that time of year as we gear up for Pork in the Park Ribfest on September 14, 2019 at the Merrill Festival Grounds.  This year we will be starting at 2pm to 6pm (or sold out).  If you are interested in becoming a rib cook, click here for the application

Along with Ribfest, there will be a Gun Show over in the Merrill Enrichment Center.  Plus, we will have the Craft Vendors in the grass over by the cooks.  Something for everyone.  Remember we will have ribbon fries, corn on the cob and chicken sandwiches.  Ed and Sharon's will be selling their cheese curds.
