Windy City Rib Fest 2011

Aren't we all looking forward to a warm, breezy summer day when we'll be more concerned with grilling ribs than grilling aldermanic candidates?

Well, good news - Business Partners, The Chamber for Uptown announced today that the Windy City Ribfest will be returning to Uptown this summer! Mark your calendars - July 15th - 17th! From the e-mail blast from Business Partners:

"Professional BBQ chef's will compete while lucky fest goers get to eat! The event will also include live local and national music, arts/craft and other vendors, and an expanded kid's corner and more!

This year, Saturday's headliner is Rusted Root!"

I was a bit of a nay-sayer on this last year. I don't eat ribs and the theme wasn't authentically "Uptown" enough for me.

Someone should have told me to shut up and just go and have a good time. Because that is exactly what I ended up doing.

Put this on your calendar, Uptowners! I look forward to raising a pint with you and dancing the night away.
