Today At Georgian Mall a Ribfest To Behold!

by

The Ribfest opens today at 11.00 am and runs through to 8.00 pm. It is being held in Georgian Mall (509 Bayfield Street) – in the parking lot of former Sears.

There are 3 specialty rib creators on-site to choose from, Camp 31 Barbeque, Billy Bones’ BBQ and Pistol Pete’s. Made with all of their very own sauces. As well as getting some great ribs you will be helping RVH. Before you enter your chosen lane, you pay three dollars which all go to raising funds for our wonderful hospital.

So, we took a trip up on Saturday to try out some ribs, we loved it, as long as you love meat this is where you need to visit today. All the pictures were taken yesterday.

As well as ribs you can get chicken and more. We had a great time yesterday even though this year you cant walk about the fest it still had a fabulously friendly atmosphere.

So for a treat go to Georgian Mall today and give yourself and family a treat, while helping a great cause.

With phase 3 now in place, it allows us to have some fun and listen to music and have a meal with family and friends, all under the guidelines of the present day.

The Simmering Kettle and Dosti Eats in conjunction with Barrie Uncovered have arranged to put on a show for you. So if you are bored and looking for something to do, why not swing by and enjoy some great food and live music with Barrie’s own Kat Chabot? The event will be held at 531 Bryne Drive on Saturday, August 22, between 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm. This event will take place outside in between the two restaurants. So you have plenty of food to choose from!

Kat Chabot is a very popular local singer-songwriter from Barrie Ontario. Pre-pandemic days you could catch her performing all over Ontario’s Farmers Markets, local festivals, bars and restaurants, either performing solo or with Cardinal Street, a five-piece rock band. Spending her youth working in greenhouses, and growing up in a family band covering RUSH and Journey songs.

At Simmering Kettle, you will find comfort food at its finest. They have all-day breakfast options as well as other hearty meal options. Dosti eats is a mix of food from all over the world! They serve food from Mexico, pan Asian food, north American food, and some tasty dessert options and you can even have a cocktail.

So come along sit back and relax, have a great meal and listen to music, how good does that sound? All the food will be brought to your table by their friendly staff. Food will be available from both locations.

Please remember to bring your mask as they are mandatory if you plan on going inside to use the washrooms. Other COVID measures will be in place during the event so you can feel safe!

And on Friday, Barrie’s favorite gypsy folk band The Noolands rewind to their January show at the Foxx Lounge.

The live stream will an uncut recording of their single release party, so the atmosphere of the venue remains intact. And the guys from the band will be interacting during the live stream, so you can jump in with questions or a virtual lighter salute.

“It’s wild seeing so many things change so quickly around the world and losing some of these things right now has made us realize how truly lucky we are. Watching these doctors, nurses and frontline workers fighting this battle for us has been incredibly humbling. We & our friends at The Foxx Lounge dedicate this entire performance to these true heroes.” – THE NOOLANDS
