What a great time everyone
had last Saturday evening.
The Firemen sponsored a
"Rib Cook-Off". I am
guessing there were
between 200 and 250 people
in attendance. They
crowd seemed to be from
all around the area.
Lindsey Fingarson, Stoney
Steinolfson (from
Minneapolis) and I were
the judges. What a
job to have! We
sampled 15 different ribs.
They all tasted great.
That made our task all the
harder. We finally
chose the top three.
When the prizes were
awarded we learned that
Scott Anderson from Hoople
took first, TJ & Katie
Hall, second and DuWayne
Pewe came in third.
Of course, when we were
judging we had no idea
whose ribs were were
tasting.
The evening was perfect.
The weather was sunny and
warm and the mosquitoes
weren't even biting.
It was a terrific evening
to be in Edinburg.
Edinburg is a great place
to live!!!!
We would love to have you
visit!!!!

pertinent information will

Northeast North Dakota is
a well-kept secret,
especially the little town
of Edinburg. It sits
on the edge of the fertile
farmland of the Red River
Valley and the prairies of
the west. Edinburg
has a population of about
250 people with the drive,
dreams and heart of cities
10 times its size.
Edinburg could be a
"throw-back" to the 50's
with its pristine
cleanliness, manicured
yards and well-kept homes,
but it is most definitely
planted in the 21st
century with citizens who
strive to keep Edinburg
very much alive!
