WISCONSIN— A Wisconsin festival celebrating smoked meat is promoting its event with a 90's throwback from singer Vanilla Ice. The organizers of the Elkhorn Ribfest produced a video with a parody of the 90's hit "Ice Ice Baby."

Yo VIP, let's kick it.

Patch reached out to the Walworth County Fairgrounds but there was no answer and no voicemail option.

The free fest will be held July 15-18 on the Walworth County Fairgrounds, 411 East Court St. Parking is also free. There will be a line-up of music, games and rides.

"Alright pork, don't bring no chicken. I got a sauce that's finger-licking," according to the song.

The video shows a montage of past fests with crowds enjoying messy ribs.

"Dry-rub ain't no first date, seasonings and spices rubbed on the meat. Will they have moist wipes? I don't know. As messy as they are I hope so."

"195 is the temp that I smoke them. I know they are done because they are soft when I poke them," according to the lyrics.
