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.

Wrap Up

The Old Time Chili Cookoff and Cruisin' for Miracles car show drew a lot of people throughout the day on April 17, 2010 in downtown Asheboro. Here's what the Courier-Tribune wrote ...

Mayor David Smith broke a tie for the best overall chili. Four independent judges each dipped their spoon into the same bowl from each of the 13 cooks. When the numbers were all tallied up, there was a tie between Kim Jarmon and Danny Tyson. The Mayor tasted them both and broke the tie. Bobby Simmons came in third.

By a landslide, Charles Fowler won the People's Choice award.

From a technology standpoint, it takes awhile to post images to Facebook and this Website, but please check back throughout the week to see them. And, thanks to students at Randolph Community College for being roaming photographers. They and Greta Lint captured chili, cars and a lot more. You may see yourself!
