County Government Chili Cook Off Benefits United Way

The fourth annual county government chili cook off and silent auction raised over $900 for the United Way campaign. This money will be added to the personal contributions of over 700 county employees. Jill Williams, Personnel Technician, Randolph County Personnel says, “The chili cook off seemed like a fun event that would bring all the employees from 17 departments together during the United Way campaign”.

Thirteen employees submitted entries to the cook off. Judges were Don and Pat Allred, campaign chairs for the United Way; Mike Lee, owner of AVS Catering; Sam Ramsey, owner of Chick-fil-A; Jeff Sugg, Attorney for the City of Asheboro. The judges were stumped between two of the entries. Pat Allred stepped in and offered the deciding vote which deemed Stephanie Thompson the reigning chili champion for the year.
