Rhythm and Ribs entertainment line-up

St Augustine Sunrise Rotary member Martha Graham announced to local Historic City News reporters the entertainment lineup for this year’s Rhythm and Ribs Festival.

Since 1995, St. Augustine Sunrise Rotary Club has presented the popular spring weekend festival; last year drawing over 20,000 people.

The 2010 Rhythm and Ribs Festival raised $62,000, all of which will be given back to charities here in St. Johns County and some international charities. “With the help of almost 200 volunteers made up of Rotarians and our friends, a total of 2000 hours are volunteered over the weekend,” Graham said.
