Weekend’s Ribfest still a go despite smoke concerns
KAMLOOPS — Earlier this week a Geography and Environmental Studies Professor at TRU called for this year’s Ribfest to be cancelled, saying with the city’s Air Health Quality Rating is still extremely high and people should be staying indoors.
Ribfest organizers say the thick smoke isn’t enough to extinguish spirits, with the festival set to kick off Friday morning.
The event has brought in more than $400-thousand since its inception five years ago.
