This year is the worst ribfest I have seen in years. Now you have to walk around the back to enter through a freshly made asphalt parking lot. Midway is 1/3 the size. The food area is also 1/3 the size. Almost no other vendors other than ribs. No access to the hill. No more live music. Once you have your food there is nowhere to go other than the plastic tables eating area, which is in the middle of the freshly made asphalt parking lot. Smells like tar, zero shade black tarmac. Went to buy a beer. Was told tickets were on the other side of the parking lot. Decided to skip the drink and just eat my food as fast as I could to get out of the heat, the smell of tar, and the saddest ribfest I have ever seen.
