Last-Minute Change

On Saturday, April 16, 2011, North Carolina was hit by more than two dozen tornadoes, leaving horrific paths of destruction and death in their wake. The chili cookoff and car show slid to Sunday, April 17, avoiding rain and very high winds in downtown Asheboro. We used mass media and social networking sites to get the word out about the date change. We enjoyed clear skies, gentle breezes and 70+ degree temperatures.



What's Going On?

Golden Corral and the Randolph Heritage Conservancy are joining forces for a street rod car show and a chili cookoff in Bicentennial Park in downtown Asheboro.... Deadline to enter as a chili cook is April 10, 2011.

All Kinds of Chili

Sights throughout the day ...

Rebecca Briles won the 2011 Best Showmanship Award

Asheboro Mayor David Smith jumped in to help with trash removal.
Charlie Fowler won the 2011 Grand Prize. He also came in first in the People's Choice contest, but rules said that if you won the Grand Prize, you are ineligible to win another award. He won the People's Choice in 2009 and 2010.

The Fairlanes are always a crowd pleaser!
