About 19-thousand people visited the sixth annual Saskatoon Rotary RibFest over the weekend at Diefenbaker Park.
That’s down a bit from the record of 21-thousand set in 2015.
RibFest Chair Boris Kishchuk says the crowds were fantastic, considering there was rain on Saturday.
Kevin Hobbs had the winning ticket number for the 50/50 prize of $7,555.
Prairie Smoke and Spice of Regina won the Peoples’ Choice Award while Smoke and Bones BBQ of Vancouver won the Judges’ Choice.
Funds raised through this event support the Rotary Club of Saskatoon Nutana’s community projects in the areas of youth, First Nations, literacy and education.
