Sparks, Nevada..September 2-6
What's that, you haven't ever been to the big Rib Cook-off in Sparks???? Why not?? If you're looking to avoid the heat and weekend crowds, try going first thing in the morning when the cook-off opens at 11:00am. You'll miss the crowds and be the first to taste those mouth-watering ribs! The cook-off has become a Labor Day tradition. Sponsored by the Nugget, you'll find food and craft booths sprinkled up and down Victorian Square, and plenty of live entertainment, too. The cook-off runs today through Sunday, with awards given on Sunday for the best ribs in the bunch. So, get out and enjoy this final weekend of summer, and pig out on some of those delicious ribs!
