Rib Riot Returns
The seventh annual Rib Riot returns to Stanley this Saturday at the Prairie Rose Golf Course.
Teams will start cooking early in the day with serving to the public starting at 4:00 p.m. There will be inflatable bounces houses and a huge slide for the kids to play on, as well as free sno-cones.
The annual event has become very popular over the last six years with teams coming out looking to claim the best ribs. In addition to baby back ribs, there will be sides served along with dutch oven dishes and desserts.
The Rib Riot started in the summer of 2020 as people were looking for a way to have fun and get together during covid, thus the name. It has grown over the years. It has changed locations from the park to the golf course. That happened in 2024 when the pool was under construction and the park space was limited.
One thing has remained the same, though. It is always a good time and the food is always great. If you have the chance, come on out to the golf course on Saturday and help support the cause. Funds raised go to the Stanley Fire Department.
