Hey Y'all.... Chomp & Stomp is happening this Saturday, November 2! This annual Chili Cookoff & Bluegrass Festival is held in Atlanta's historic Cabbagetown neighborhood. Organizers expect this year to attract their largest crowd yet (20,000+), so I've included below a couple of details to note if you're planning on attending....
- The festival opens at 11am, kicking off with the Artist Market, music stages, and food/drinks from individual vendors will be available.... But the Chili is NOT served until 12:30pm.
- The Welcome Stations (found at various spots around the festival) sell the $5 spoons for you to hold onto & sample Chili from the individual cups provided by each Chili tent.
- Chili is submitted by both home cooks & local restaurant chefs, in meat & vegetarian options.
- The Chili goes FAST, so get close to your favorite tents around the 12:30 opening.
- Parking can be a little dicey too.... Street parking is available and some empty lots provide a flat-fee all day parking, but MARTA is recommended.
The B-E-S-T news of all, is that Mr. Ferguson will be part of Chomp & Stomp's Artist Market.... Our tent will be located on Kirkwood Avenue, just up from Cabbagetown's main park/site of the main music stage. Mr. Ferguson will be offering his abstract paintings, photography, and a custom designed T-Shirt. Come by & see us!
