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.

SLIDING to SUNDAY

Sometimes weather just gets in the way of having outdoor fun! So with a 90 percent chance of periodic thunderstorms and wind on Saturday, the Old Time Chili Cookoff and car show are sliding to Sunday, April 17, 2011.
On Sunday, to accommodate persons going to church, the car show registration has been extended to 1:30 p.m.

    Yes, the chili cookoff is the same as it was planned for on Sunday, except there will be no cornhole event.

    There are no tickets in advance this year. All tickets must be purchased on site. There will be 3 entrances into the park: 1) Academy Street, 2) Sunset Avenue and 3) Behind Community One. You'll need to purchase a $5 wristband to participate in the tasting and voting for the People's Choice award. Thank you for asking!
