A popular food event in the North Okanagan has again been cancelled, but, this time, not because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
On Friday, organizers of Vernon RibFest says this year’s event has been cancelled because of a meat shortage.
In a media release, RibFest said they’ve been trying to source products from meat producers, but have been told there’s not much available.
Organizers say they had considered a scaled-down, drive-through version of the festival this year, possibly in September, but that plan is no longer an option.
