With the high season in full swing, the events just keep rolling into South Florida. It was a busy weekend that even with a case of the post-Halloween doldrums that almost kept us at home, there was just too much to do and see. So here is what you missed over the weekend:

Ribfest 2009 at Homestead Air Reserve Park

A little messy? Perhaps. Delicious? You better believe it. Ribfest took over Homestead Air Reserve Park as teams from all over the country competed for the top prize. Click here to view the full slideshow.

Mastodon and Dethklok at Pompano Beach Amphitheater
