Franklin Sussex Auto Mall is doing it again! Last years festival was such a hit, we are doing it bigger and better! We are proudly sponsoring, “Rock, Ribs and Ridges” on June 11th and 12th at The Hidden Valley Club in picturesque Vernon, NJ.  This festival is a two-day celebration of great southern rock music, finger-lickin’ BBQ food and tons of fun.  With an amazing music lineup featuring 38 Special, The Marshall Tucker Band, Blackberry Smoke, Outlaws, Citizens Band Radio, Southern Fury Band, Kilby Taylor, Southern Justice and CC Coletti, this event will be a hit for any classic rock fan…with an appetite.  While you are enjoying the music, we invite you to dine on some of the best BBQ ribs in the Northeast.  The Ribfest Cookoff includes 4 “Ribbers” that participate in the weekend long competition.  They are asked to put forth their signature recipes for a chance to win titles of BEST RIBS or BEST SAUCE along with huge cash prizes.  I’m talkin’ about World Famous Ribs here…I’m talkin’ Three Men and a Baby Back who start their season in Litttle Rock, Arkansas at the USA BBQ Championship..who last year won 1st place brisket at the NY State Championship..who won 3rd place chicken, 1st place brisket and 1st place People’s Choice Award for clam chowder in Norwalk, CT, AND Best Ribs from last years Rock, Ribs and Ridges Festival.  I’m talkin’ about Good Smoke who formed in the depths of competition barbecue, competing since 2006 and racking up (pun intended) two People’s Choice rib championships, and last year winning 2nd place in the Empire State Barbecue Championship and 3rd in the New England Barbecue Society claiming Team of the Year.  In addition, they brought home 2 grilling Grand Championships as well as multiple 1st place BBQ category wins.  I’m talkin’ about Texas Smoke BBQ…4 time “Best Ribs”, Champion of the Grill, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010; 2009 Grand Champion, and selected by the Munchmobile as one of the Best of 2010 Restaurants. I’m talkin’ about our very own, “Local Smoker” Eric Fiqueroa of the Double S Diner who traveled the country racing cars..and sampling the BBQ flavors of Memphis, Kansas City, Florida, Out West, and the Carolina’s along the way. It paid off, as Eric won 1st place in the Sussex County Champion of the Grill in 2009! Mouth-watering, isn’t it?

What could be better then sitting in a 2011 Jeep in front of the stage?  One lucky contestant will do just that!  Enjoy the show in a comfortable seat, and dine in the FSAM VIP Lounge!  All the ribs you can eat!  Free…courtesy of Bill Snouffer!  Enter below or stop by the showroom!
