The day ends with a final “rib-off” in which all competitors—restaurants and individuals alike—pit their ribs against Garry’s with the winner earning a trip to the 2008 World Series.

One entry fee covers participation in all categories. For more information or to register, please call 856-756-0222 or email ygapcamden@hotmail.com.
