This morning things weren’t looking too bright in Berlin, Ohio as rib cook-off vendors setup and began grilling ribs for the sixth annual Berlin Harvest Festival and Rib Cook-Off. Fortunately as the day progressed the weather co-operated and a perfectly miserable day turned into a very pleasant one. This year’s rib cook-off vendors included Farmstead Restaurant, Cindy’s Diner, Boyd & Wurthmann Restaurant, Coalway LLC, 2 Guys and a Grill, Bogey’s Smokin BBQ, Log Cabin Catering, Ltd., and the Dept. of BBQ. Two very happy guys from 2 Guys and a Grill of Millersburg, Ohio were the recipients of the Judges Choice Award. The People’s Choice Award went to Log Cabin Catering, Ltd. of Sugarcreek, Ohio. In addition to the rib cook-off the festival features sales events by local stores and shops, music by local artists 39 West, Holmes County Blue-Grass, High Country Blue-Grass, and Floyd Mullet & Servants Heart. At 6pm there was a parade through Main Street with dozens of floats and participants.
P.S. My dear wife, Wanda, was lucky to be one of the rib cook-off judges and I was glad she was able to bring some of the left-over ribs home because I LOVE RIBS!! It was a very good day.
