POMEROY — Pomeroy’s Gold Wings and Ribs Festival kicked off Friday afternoon under cloudy skies with concessionaires and artisans in place, music performances in the amphitheater, and the first contest, a BBQ Hog callin’ event on the evening’s agenda.
Saturday’s schedule featured Art in the Park under sponsorship of the Rio Grande Community College, DJ Rockin Reggie all day long, a variety of contests for the young and old with prizes in each, and of course the judging and announcement of Ohio’s Best Wings and Ohio’s Best Ribs.
A guided motorcycle tour and poker run in Saturday afternoon was added to the usual festival agenda and the evening featured music in the riverfront amphitheater by Josh Oldaker and the Jeff Ray Band before the motorcycle light run to wrap up the 2013 Gold Wings and Ribs Festival chaired by Bill Quickel.
