PARMA, Ohio — For the second straight year, the pandemic has canceled the Parma Rib \u2018N Rock Rib Cookoff and Musical Festival.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not just the chamber, it\u2019s the whole community that will be disappointed,\u201d Parma Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Phil Kish said. \u201cParma Rib \u2018N Rock helps out many charities. There\u2019s a lot of civic and local organizations that either participate in the event or raise money helping out.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s also just the financial impact this has with all of the vendors. This is one of their primary events they\u2019re able to make a living at. It hurts them, and also affects the chamber,\u201d Kish said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe take a portion of our proceeds and put it into our scholarship fund for the Parma City School kids. That\u2019s also affected.\u201d<\/p>\n

The annual affair, which in many ways acts as Parma\u2019s unofficial home days event, attracts more than 25,000 rib-and-music-loving folks to the Cuyahoga Community College West campus.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a great food event with entertainment that everyone looks forward to each year,\u201d Mayor Tim DeGeeter said. \u201cI understand and support the decision due to safety concerns, and look forward to next year.<\/p>\n

\u201cAdditionally, as we finally keep climbing out of the pandemic, I look forward to upcoming community events later this year,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Despite the fact much of the population is expected to be vaccinated by the late spring date, Kish said Parma Rib \u2018N Rock — which has been held for the last five years at the Tri-C campus — requires advanced planning that this year wasn\u2019t able to be completed due to the pandemic.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also uncertainty about how COVID-19 would have affected attendance.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t know how many people would show up,\u201d Kish said. \u201cIt\u2019s a 50\/50 split. Half of the people want to get out and do things; the other 50 percent are not going to no matter if it\u2019s allowed or not. So we had to cancel the Parma Rib \u2018N Rock for those reasons.\u201d<\/p>\n

Initially, there was discussion about rescheduling the saucy affair to later this summer, but Kish said logistically it wouldn\u2019t work out.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

So what was going to be the 30th annual Parma Rib \u2018N Rock will now take place next spring.<\/p>\n

However, Kish said the Parma Area Chamber is planning a drive-thru event for June 12 at James Day Park.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is in the planning stages,\u201d Kish said. \u201cI do have initial approval from Parma and Cuyahoga County Health Department to have a drive-thru Parma Rib \u2018N Rock featuring five food trucks with a limited menu that probably won\u2019t include ribs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can have this event with food trucks, because they\u2019re self-sufficient and they\u2019re also already certified by the Cuyahoga County Board of Health.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe idea is to keep the spirit of Parma Rib \u2018N Rock alive in people.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
