Great fall weather provided a perfect setting for the RibFest in Swift Current, Sept. 18-20. It was hosted by the Living Sky Casino and also raised funds for local healthcare through a partnership with the Dr. Noble Irwin Regional Healthcare Foundation.

The event in the casino parking lot featured two award-winning ribbers and other food trucks as well as a family fun zone with various activities. The event also featured live music by the southern Alberta band The Prairie Dogz on Friday and Saturday evening inside the casino. A panel of seven celebrity judges had a tough task to determine the winning ribbers on the final day of Ribfest.
