If you have cowboy genes or cowboy fantasies, you should've been in Victoria Park, Cobourg, this past weekend, for the annual RIBFEST, organized by Cobourg Rotary Club.
Two days of country music, cholesterol and smell of barbecue, one day of pouring rain!
Fundraising events are always for a noble cause, even if they entail charging people astronomical prices for heart-attack friendly food! Rightfully, some of the proceeds go to Northumberland Hospital!
A pair of boots short of a cowgirl, I went all three days. Day one, out of curiosity, day two to listen to my favourite local band, day three to eat! Victoria Park wasn't as populated as I expected it to be. The pre-fall temperatures and persisting rain, might have had something to do with it, or in my opinion, the prices. Gravitating towards comfy foods myself, especially under somber skies, I wanted to try everything, the rib, the pulled pork and the chicken leg. I wasn't going to pass up the deep-fried onion or potato either. Before I had a chance to complain about my gluttony, I was out fifty dollars!
Corn on the cob $4.00
Meat Combo - $23.00
Buttermilk Biscuit $3.00
Blooming Onion - $10. 00
Butterfly Fries- $8.00
Beer - $10.00
Of course, what I bought could've fed a family of four, well perhaps a family of four with small appetites. Although everyone present, including myself, could've done with less fat and more veggies, it was worth every ounce of incoming grease and outgoing penny!
