1998 was the first time Fort Wayne has held a ribfest. Headwaters Park was the beautiful setting. We ate in a huge white tent, with the rib vendors set up in the same place as Not All Junk Food Alley is for the Three Rivers Festival. There was wonderful music and it lasted three days. This surely must become an annual event. It was a fabulous weekend.

Here are some of the sights, just on Saturday night alone. A small fraction of the fun! The bands we caught were the Fort Wayne Blues Society jammers, The Red Ball Jets and The Blue Moon Boys.

Some people just don't like to pose! Some of them do, and I thank them a lot! See this little fella smile on the second page of 'fest faces.
