“I’d like to thank everyone for their participation and support of this week’s St. Jude’s Rib Fest.  We had a great time and raised a lot of money for an even better cause. Big Thanks to Chef Matt Brady, Ty Chatterton, Matt Goldsmith, Mark Stein, Mark Burdett, John Finch, Steve and Linda Beckwith and Clarence Thomas for all their help Friday and Saturday in the preparation and handing out of the ribs.  To everyone who sold and bought tickets thank you as well.
