Russ you been to the Rib cook off? If so is it worth the long haul to get there??

Been going for about 10 years. Ribs are good, but lines can be long. Lots of arts and craft stuff. It can get really hot, as the entire thing is set up on the main street of Sparks. Lots of blacktop and concrete. I enjoy it for the people, the beer, the ribs (they can get pricey), and the crafts. Parking can be a problem on Sat and Sun, unless you get there early, as it is basically downtown Sparks. The same as this weekend with Hot August Nights. The entire center of town is closed off to allow bands, cars, vendors, more cars, and more vendors. Makes parking a major consideration.
