www.insideHALTON.com | OAKVILLE BEAVER | Friday, June 26, 2015 | 14 The Co-operators Family Ribfest has something for all -- and ribs continued from p.1 All proceeds from Ribfest support local Rotary projects, community charities, student bursaries and the RCOT's international work, such as providing clean water wells, polio vaccinations, and mosquito netting to prevent the spread of malaria. While there is free parking nearby and Oakville Transit's No. 1 and No. 24 routes have stops right at the gate, parking at Sheridan costs $10. Peden said the money from parking fees goes back to local charities and drivers receive a booklet worth $400 in local retail coupons. There will also be bicycle racks available outside the main gate. Nine ribbers will once again be vying for people's votes to be crowned best ribs and best sauce. Last year's winner of both titles was Kentucky Smokehouse. Looking to dethrone the group will be the close-to-all-female ribbers Crazy Canuck Smokers and Oakville's own Tennessee Fatbacks. Other ribbers will include Boss Hogs BBQ, Jack on the Bone, Gator BBQ, Bad Wolf Barbecue, Route 55 and Pistol Pete's Smokehouse. Voting closes at 2 p.m. Sunday at the designated tent, with the winner announced at 3 p.m. A variety of food vendors will also offer ice cream, corn-on-the-cob, doughnuts, lemonade, fries, Beaver Tails and more. Organizers have several environmental initiatives to keep the event as green as possible, including: recycling all appropriate materials, partnering with U-PAK to develop a program to reduce the amount of waste being sent to the landfill to zero; ribbers using biodegradable and recyclable serving containers and supplies; and unused food being donated to food banks, with items not suitable for donation being separated for composting. More than 200 volunteers, including the Army Cadets of Oakville, will be helping out. Entertainment runs throughout the weekend with headliners including: Groove Hammer, Rocket 88, Bare Blue Sea, The Argues Family Band, High Rendition Jazz, The Beat Heathens and Meagan Delima. This year's Ribfest will also offer a free Kids' Play Zone, tours of the Sheridan College grounds, artists and artisans, a community marketplace, car show, an amusement park with rides and games, and a large wagon pulled by Clydesdales on the Saturday. Once again, there will be a daycare for dogs located just outside the main gate for those who cannot leave their pets alone, but still want to attend the Ribfest. Dogs and pets are not allowed on site, unless they are service dogs, said Peden. For more information on the weekend's offerings, visit oakvillefamilyribfest.com.
