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.

What has happened to the Asheboro Chili Cookoff? It's been transformed into a new event focusing upon Randolph County's heritage.

A new name ... new event ... new management ... new fun ...

Why the name change? The focus of the event is to showcase Randolph County history, the museums that are here and to let them tell their story. Besides, chili was a mainstay of early settlers, farmers, families - well -just about everybody. And it still is today. Yum, yum!

Golden Corral does an annual fundraiser to support the "Children's Miracle Network." The Asheboro store is part of the region that gives money to the program at Duke Hospital in Durham. For the past four years, the local restaurant has held a cruise-in at their facility. With limited space, the event has moved downtown. Golden Corral is producing a cruise-in with shiny street rods and classic cars.

It is joining forces with the Old Time Chili Cookoff to provide a daylong event of shiny cars, spicy chili and family fun.
