Ribs, Rides and Relaxation

Photos by Ron Eland/Boulder City Review

BCFD firefighters Elijah Hubbard and Dominic Mirjanian competed against one another in a rib-eating contest on Saturday during the annual Best Dam Barbecue Challenge. The annual event is hosted by the Rotary Club of Boulder City as well as many sponsors.

Ribs weren’t the only thing on the grill over the weekend.

In addition to ribs, vendors and music, the Boulder City Cruisin’ Association hosted a car show in Wilbur Square, which drew hundreds of classic rides.

A little smoke didn’t stop many of the thousands in attendance from stopping and getting a hamburger or hotdog.

Vehicles of all ages were on displahy at Wilbur Square for attendees to enjoy.

Kicking off BC’s holiday season

This time of year in Boulder City it often looks like a scene from a Christmas Hallmark movie, minus the big-city girl who falls in love with the small-town guy. And, minus the snow.

Local author publishes third book

For Boulder City author Lisa Hallett, writing a book is like a recipe. A little of this, a little of that, a dash of family, and a pinch of friends and in the end, something she hopes people will enjoy.
