The video of the laser light show didn't come out that great, but the food an music at the Ribberfest in Madison, IN Friday and Saturday, 8/21 and 8/22 was. Great smoked pulled pork, and ribs. Good line up of speciality beer. I liked the wheat beer myself, but friends like the porter. Bud variations were available too. Giant cream puff with Bavarian filling was delish.
If you're into competition BBQ this was a Kansas City qualifier, so the smell of hickory was everywhere. About sixty teams competed. We didn't get to spend as much time in this area, but a friend was one of the teams competing and showed us around their rig Friday night. This is serious BBQ.
We've been to Madison several times and stay in the Cliffty Falls state park campground with our travel trailer. Since we spent most of our time at the festival, I only cooked dinner Friday night when we arrived--grilled chicken with by BBQ rub sliced up for tacos with typical toppings and refried beans and breakfast on Saturday and Sunday. Blueberry pancakes on Saturday with bacon and sausage and made-to-order omelets on Sunday with Ham and sides of fruit.
For the pancakes I used the new Quaker Oatmeal Pancake mix and really liked it...good flavor and light texture. Added more milk than recipe on back called for to thin the batter a bit, since it sat a while while after I first mixed it waiting for the bacon to finish cooking.
The Madison Ribberfest had a great line up of blues musicians, hot air balloons, beer and BBQ , good friends and cooking outdoors in a beautiful park made this a great event. You should definitely put this event on your list not to miss next year.
