ST. GERMAIN - In the south, you can find barbeque on every corner. Up here it's not that easy... But if you're craving it, you can head to Pig in the Pines this weekend.
It's the 10th annual year of the event in St. Germain. There are award winning ribs, live music and family friendly attractions to enjoy.
Barbeque lovers from across the midwest are drawn to Pig in the Pines...and of course everything is finger licking good.
"It does help the community," says St. Germain Chamber Director Penny Wiesmann. "It draws people from all over the Midwest. We have people talking about; this is their fourth or fifth annual year. The smells are incredible. You don't know where to go. You don't know if you should get ribs or pork or brisket or the corn. Try everything. Eat all day long."
