From the Town of Midland:
We are disappointed to report that the Northern Heat Rib Series Rib Fest will no longer be taking place in Midland this Labour Day Weekend. Northern Heat Organizer Justin Brown reported the news via email citing a lack of available rib vendors to facilitate the event. Without the proper number of rib teams/vendors participating, it would be financially catastrophic to the organizer.
“It’s unfortunate. We were really excited to have a Rib Fest in Midland this year.” said Scott Cooper, Marketing & Communications Co-ordinator with The Town Of Midland. “However, we certainly appreciate the cost and risk it takes to pull off an event of this scale. We apologize for the disappointment, but remain hopeful we can get a food festival happening in Midland next summer.”
