From Terry Jones:
On April 30th, the FAME Festival returns to Broadway…bigger and better than last year’s smash success. Two blocks directly behind the Myrtle Beach Post Office at 5th and Broadway will be the central stage filled with music from 10AM to 10PM. FAME is an acronym for Food, Art, Music and Entertainment.
This year the organizers have added another city block to the free all day outdoor street festival and it will be filled with chili cooks from all over the country. The reigning world champion chili cook from the 2010 Terlingua, Texas International Chili Cook Off, Tom Dozier of Irving, Texas, will be competing for the crown against champions from Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Texas and other states. This will be a sanctioned event by CASI (Chili Appreciation Society International).
