The annual Ribs for the Ribbon event took place last weekend. Every year, the Big Lake Beyond the Yellow Ribbon hosts the event in order to raise funds for the organization, which supports local veterans and their families. 

The event featured raffle tickets, drinks provided by Tootsie’s Bar, and door prizes. And, most importantly, a rib competition.
