MN Building Trades Yellow Ribbon Ribfest

Ribfest

Prepare your taste buds for a tasty experience at the inaugural Ribfest hosted by the Minnesota Building Trades Beyond the Yellow Ribbon. Save the date on Saturday, September 16, starting at 1 p.m., and head to the 34th Red Bull Infantry Division Headquarters at 4800 Hamline Avenue North in Arden Hills. There will be plenty to do and see, including live music, a military flyover ceremony, raffles, auctions, drinks, and delicious grilled ribs, all while supporting a meaningful cause. All proceeds go to Minnesota Building Trades Beyond the Yellow Ribbon, a non-profit organization that supports Minnesota military service members, veterans, and their families. Ribfest is free to attend, but tickets must be purchased to participate in the rib tasting. An individual kit is $15, which includes six rib samples and one "people's choice" ticket. Additional tickets can be purchased for $3 per ticket. The tasting will begin at 2 p.m. Mark your calendars now, and be sure to stop down to the first-ever Ribfest in Arden Hills.
