Fun in Oriental

It is the Official Oriental Chowder Cookoff weekend!  It's a fundraiser for the Oriental Women's Club and several of the local restaurants and businesses enter their favorite chowder recipe every year.

A big crowd all busy "judging" the 13 entries.

You were given a "ballot" to carry around to the different stations.  Each one gave you a sample to try.   Some were really good!  Some were just so-so....my votes went to The Silo's restaurant and Oriental Food Initiative.

 Since we were on bikes, we pedaled around town - stopped at the park to watch a little bit of the NCSU Sailing Team regatta....hard to see the little sails, but they all have a NCSU logo!
