If you love barbeque ribs, the Annual Rock ‘n Ribs BBQ Festival in Springfield, MO is an event tailor made for you. Held on April 17th and 18th at Bass Pro Shops, the Rock ‘n Ribs Festival raises money for charities and it provides food and fun for contestants and spectators alike. The two day event features several team competitions in different categories such as the best pork ribs, the best brisket, the best chicken and the best sauce. Over 50 teams will battle it out in the Grill master cook-off. There is even a competition for which team can make the best Margarita. Other activities at the festival include a motorcycle show, a petting zoo, a climbing wall, a pie-eating contest and a variety of children’s activities. In addition, there will be plenty of live music to enjoy. The Kansas City Chiefs cheerleaders are even making a special appearance.
Best of all, the fun you have will help a good cause. The proceeds from the Rock ‘n Ribs Festival will be donated to several charities including Boys & Girls Town of Missouri, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, and the Ronald McDonald House. Last year the event raised over 100,000 dollars for charities! For more information on the Rock ‘n Ribs Festival go to their website at http://www.rocknribs.com/ .

I love the Rock N Ribs Festival. I have volunteered for it the past several years–it is so much fun. I don’t know if I will get to this year yet but I definitely plan on going.
Looks like it goes to several good causes and who wouldn’t want to see a pie-eating contest? If they can get the KC Chiefs cheerleaders to cheer me on, I might even enter the pie-eating contest myself.
Rock N Ribs is always a blast!!!
Never been to this festival..but I’m there if they have ribs!
I may go to this. Could be in the cards…I like bbq and my bf would dig the motorcycle show so yeah. I’ll keep that weekend open.
This sounds great! I bet I can talk my husband into joining me for this festival…Ribs and Bass Pro. What more could a man ask for?
I am not a huge fan of ribs, but Margaritas sound great. This sounds like a great thing for the whole family, something for everyone.
My Fraternity volunteered for this event last year. Its was a really fun time!
This sounds like a lot of fun. I have always heard it advertised on the radio, but never got a chance to go. This year I will try to more of an effort.
