The Ribs are long gone yet the memories linger. Listen in to my late night reflections on Erie's Wild Rib Cook Off and Music Festival 2021. It took a lot out of us and left memories that will last a lifetime. I'm sure these memories will age very well. Ribfest 2021 is definitely a delicious vintage. Like Kerr says below, it's all about the Outlaw Barbecue Revolution family. “RibFest Day 4 - It's our last day out here; you've seen the food and the pits so today is all about the Outlaw Barbecue Revolution family. This crew was 100% volunteers working their butts off to put out THE BEST BBQ at Erie's Wild Rib Cook Off and Music Festival! View local, vote the best ... come down and vote for Outlaw!” -Kerr Morton
