Ribfest, once again made it’s way to Memorial Park in Stouffville to a rousing welcome by residents and visitors who returned after liking what they saw and tasted in previous years. But if the numbers released by the Town of Whitchurch Stouffville are accurate, the event has continued to draw new visitors this year as the weekend saw  approx. 32,000 visitors.
