Ribfest slated for March 5 at Silver Lake Lanes

Fundraiser for Iola-Scandinavia High School Softball Team

BY TOM ANDERSON, Coach

The Iola-Scandinavia Girls Softball Team will be hosting their very popular RIB FEST dinner on Sunday, March 5, at Silver Lake Lanes in Scandinavia. Dinners will be served from 1-5 p.m. We will offer both dine-in and carry-out dinners.

Money raised will help fund our spring training trip to Disney World this spring. This trip has proven to be a fantastic opportunity to practice, play games, and build team chemistry at first-rate athletic fields and amusement park facilities in sunny-warm weather!

This will be our 18th Rib Fest dinner. This year we will be offering a full-rack rib dinner for $30.  Unfortunately, we again had to raise our dinner price due to overall price increases in all our dinner supplies. We again will use the same rib we used last year: a pre-cooked smoked St. Louis style pork spare rib. The response we got from last year’s ribs were excellent!

All dinners will be served in to-go containers, but you may dine-in or carry-out. Besides the full rack of ribs, the menu will include a baked potato, baked beans, coleslaw, fresh bread and a chocolate brownie dessert.

We would highly recommend purchasing your tickets in advance. We served just over 400 dinners each of the past few years which is very close to selling out. Tickets may be purchased from any softball player, coach or at Silver Lake Lanes. Tickets may also be purchased by calling 715-445-2411, Ext. 5000, and leaving a message or by emailing andersont@iola.k12.wi.us

We greatly appreciate the support the communities of Iola and Scandinavia and the surrounding areas have shown to our Rib Fest dinner and to our softball program!
