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.

If this is a fundraiser ...

Then where is the money going? Good question. After all the bills are paid, the money that is left over is going to two different places.

Proceeds from the chili cookoff will be going to match a major grant from the North Carolina Rural Center to start fixing up the old Randolph Manufacturing Company mill in Franklinville. The goal is to create a showplace and new jobs. The mill is owned by the Randolph Heritage Conservancy, Inc. The purpose of that organization is to elevate the awareness of our county's museums and Randolph County history.

Proceeds from the car show are going to the Children's Miracle Network to help offset the costs of children in our area who need to go to Duke Hospital. The Asheboro Golden Corral restaurant is in the CMN district that services Duke. Restaurants in Alamance and Guilford counties provide funds the the CMN efforts at Baptist hospital in Winston-Salem.
