Editor: This year’s Rims and Ribs event was a huge success.
I attended Friday afternoon and finally left at 11 p.m. with a large container of ribs. The ribs were good; this event was well organized and I say “thank you” to many people.
The Chatham-Kent police and event security kept everyone safe and under control.
The band performing Friday evening was enjoyed by all, as I observed the many people of all ages dancing and singing with them. It seems to me that the people of Chatham have a lot of wind, as I saw people dancing non-stop for a good 40 minutes.
Saturday, I toured down King Street. Awesome cars packed the street. Again, I was impressed – mainly by the cars – but also by the organization of this event.
The Sons of Kent Brewing Co. had a lot of input into this event, and claimed they had the best suds around. But not so, according to Frank Thompson of Bayside Brewing Co.
It was great to see a very successful event in Chatham.
Last but not least is a thank you to the amazing crowds. The good people who attended the events were a big part of the success story.
