On Saturday, at the corner of 3rd and Walnut in Yankton, there were 12 teams in a very heated competition. Amateur cooks were cooking low and slow to tickle some taste buds.
Two trophies were up for grabs. Yankton Rib Fest Champion, decided by a panel of judges, and People’s Choice, chosen by the hungry crowd.
Josh Klimek, from the Ace Hardware team, talks about the competition and the championship trophy ….
Dean Washburn, of USMC (Uncle Sam’s Misguided Cooks), joined the Marines with his brother-in-law, and loved receiving the People’s Choice Award….
Team USMC had last year’s championship trophy displayed beside this year’s People’s Choice trophy.
