"Coming together is a beginning,

staying together is progress,

and working together is success."

-Henry Ford



I hope everyone reading this made it to Elkhorn Ribfest! The food was good, the music was good and the time we had together was freaking awesome! A five day festival is bound to have a few hills and valleys and Ribfest was no exception. Hot weather and smokey air were not our friends, but everyone rallied together and the event was another huge success.

We're most proud of the many men and women who came to sling the beers with smiles on their faces. Some arrived with an extra competitive spirit to earn the most fundraising dollars EVER, (siren bells ringing) and a new tip jar record was achieved! Great work to ATC and their crew of energetic bartenders for their impressive Girls vs Guys competition that earned Elkhorn Powerlifting a major revenue boost!

No matter the dollar amount in the tip jar, every person who stepped behind the bar has our appreciation and thanks for the hard work and good times that we had at Elkhorn Ribfest. Thank you, Associated Bank, Elkhorn Rotary, American Legion, Sierra Insurance, Ranson Electric, Level 9, Elkhorn Powerlifting, Elkhorn Volleyball Club, Lake Geneva Knights of Columbus, ATC - American Truck Center, RH Batterman, Reader Precision, Project Graduation, Hackberry Farms, Delavan Lion's Club and the Walworth County Tavern League for spending time with us at Ribfest. YOU ALL ROCK!

We hope to see you all back next year, July 14th - July 18th for the 11th Annual Elkhorn Ribfest!
