Friday afternoon was host to thousands who came down to the Labadie Pig Gig to try some ribs during the annual Celebrity Cook-off! What a fabulous day it was. Every year, the public is invited to come down, taste the many vendors ribs and vote for their favorite!
Patrons were able to sample ribs made by local celebrities teamed up with BBQ competitors from around the Midwest. Some celebrities even made their own "Celebrity Sauce" to tempt patrons pallets!
MyBayCity.com/NBC25 was one of them and we are grateful not only to those that came out to support our cause, Crime Stoppers, but to the judges as well for picking our sauce as the 1st place winner!
