Natasha and I went back to Ribfest for this year's Independence Day with Jill & Patrick. All the Rib/BBQ vendors have
huge signs displaying their best attributes and also tables full of their trophies at the front of line.
I had Hog Wild's pulled pork sandwich, which was very juicy, and Natasha had their riblet sandwich, which had some great BBQ sauce. We were sweltering in the sun during the afternoon until the cloud cover arrived in the evening.
Tonic and Sister Hazel (pictured) played at the South stage and both were pretty good. Even though Sister Hazel's frontman's voice wasn't always keeping up, he at least kept the audience's attention between songs. Both 90's bands have faded from the lime-light, but still are producing music. Sister Hazel has headlined the
Rockboat for 11 years now.
The long awaited fireworks almost didn't happen because of the rain. After waiting the entire day, we ended up in a not so great viewing spot with the banner clad inflatables in front of us. We were only able to see the high ones, but those were really nice. It was a long day, but worth the wait and a great time with my wife & friends.

Jason and Fred were busy patching dry-wall last weekend from the water damage, but I informed Vicki that they've "WON" 4th of July at their house from now on. The hill offers a great view of various fireworks displays. Next year, I can just see all the little ones running around with Sprocket in their yard. We'll take another holiday (like New Years'), but the Betz's win the 4th.
