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.

Old Time Chili Cookoff Seeks Cooks

ASHEBORO, N.C. – The pot is being stirred and the competition is brewing. One of the cooks from last year has already announced his goal to overtake the current chili cook and take home hard, cold cash. Yes, chili green money.

We’re talking about the Old Time Chili Cookoff which will be held on Saturday, April 16 in Bicentennial Park in downtown Asheboro.

A panel of judges will determine who wins the $600 grand prize, the $400 for second place and $200 for the cook with the best showmanship. Members of the public will cast their ballot for the most coveted award of all, the People’s Choice. The award not only gives the winner $200, but also reflects thousands of taste buds.

This year, organizers are posting information about each contestant on the Discussion Page of the Facebook address, Old Time Chili Cookoff & “Cruisin’ for Miracles” Car Show. “We recognize each cook builds a fan base, so we’re going to help them,” said publicist Greta Lint. Information about each cook will also be available at www.oldtimechilicookoff.com.

Registration is $25 to enter.

Each cook must be prepared to serve 10 gallons of chili. Sampling cups will be provided.

Rules and regulations are available online at www.oldtimechilicookoff.com or may be obtained by emailing chili@oldtimechilicookoff.com or calling Cindy Wilkins at 336-430-8372.
