The Southeastern Rib Festival

The Event

The Southeastern Rib Championship is a fundraiser for the Northeast Florida Advocates for Autism and Related Disabilities, which we could not be prouder to be apart of. Less than a block from the ocean, at Main Beach Park in Fernandina Beach, we hoisted our canopy in preparation for the crowd. The crowd, comprised of residents from counties near and far, was treated to a variety of entertainment; including but not limited to TWO live bands, giant Legos, giant cup pong, and giant slides for the kids.

Due to the rules of the event, we were unable to sell our ribs until all the Competition Ribs had sold, which enabled us to sell out of all of our platters. We then were able to sell our ribs as a combo with our sides, until we sold out of them as well. We went home with three pieces of Millionaire bacon left, out of all the food we brought to the event.
