It's getting closer! Summer is here and the BBQs are heating up.
The 2010 Northumberland Ribfest is only a few weeks away.

More than 30,000 people attended the 2009 Ribfest. The weather was near-perfect and the food was great! This year is going to be even better.

Join us in Cobourg's beautiful Victoria Park August 20th to 22nd for the 2010 Northumberland Ribfest. On Friday we'll start ribbin' at 2:00 p.m., Saturday the fun is from 11:00 a.m. until 11:00 p.m. and on Sunday you can have fun from 11:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m.

So You Think You Can BBQ
We have lots of entertainment for the whole family. including the second annual So You Think You Can BBQ Contest sponsored by Friendly Fires.

That's right... backyard-grillers will square off on Saturday to show us their stuff. They will have 3.5 hours to grill up the best ribs ever and then their culinary wizardry will be judged by our professional ribbers. One lucky gourmet griller will win a $600 Broil King barbeque for their efforts, courtesy of Friendly Fires.

Northumberland Ribfest isn't just about ribs. We also have a great line-up of entertainers appearing at the historic Victoria Park Band Shell and a children's activity area for the kids and kids at heart.

This event is a fundraiser to help the Rotary Club of Cobourg support worthy causes at home and abroad. A few of the contributions we have made in the past include:

$500,000 commitment to the Northumberland Hills Hospital
Ongoing development of Cobourg Heritage harbour
Literacy projects at home and abroad
Clean water projects
Polio eradication

Our August Ribfest weekend is one of three major fund raising activities the Club undertakes. In February we hold our Annual Sportsman's Night Dinner & Auction and every Canada Day Weekend we host our Rotary Arts & Crafts Festival as part of the Cobourg Waterfront Festival.
