The Famous Hudson Valley RibFest (Aired on AM on August 9 & on FM on August 11, 2013)

Summary: Two members of the Highland Rotary Club describe the enormous success of their club’s now-famous Hudson Valley RibFest. Steve Laubach, District 7210 Secretary, and Don Verity, Station Manager for radio stations in the Hudson Valley, discuss the exhibits, cooking demonstrations by professional chefs, a sanctioned Barbecue Contest where winners advance to National Finals in Kansas City, and more–all of which attract 15,000 visitors of all ages from the Hudson Valley and around the world and benefit numerous humanitarian efforts here and abroad. New this year: a kickoff concert before the start of the Ribfest and a sightseer train around the Fairgrounds to view it all.
