It was 11 nights πŸŒ™ before Christmas πŸŽ„ and all through the Warehouse Santa πŸŽ… and his helpers were busy, busy, busy

The hardworking folks involved in the Carroll Christmas πŸŽ„Fund set aside more time tonight out at Virginia Produce. The process of placing the Toys, Bibles and Can Goods into boxes for the 525 families was set to begin at 6pm. One of our up and coming local youth, Mr. Trenton Miller is participating in the assembly line and we hope to have a few pictures πŸ“· to share before the end of the evening !

Every so often our Fearless Leader Kris Richardson sends me out on assignment to write ✍ about something outside of Carroll County and when the Boss says jump, I say how high ? Scavenger Hunt

 The last time Kris sent me out on a field trip it took me to Louisville, Kentucky where I met Mr. Ed Robtison. Coach Ed turned out to quite impressive and it allowed me to see Alyssa Ervin play travel Basketball πŸ€ in one of the largest Tournaments in the Country.

Today’s mission is to learn what exactly is a Famous Toastery Bowl πŸ₯£ and why it exists? How bad can it be, just a quick drive πŸš— I-77 to Charlotte, I will make it back before I know it!

So it turns out that Famous Toastery is an upscale restaurant that is open for both Breakfast and Lunch. Their Home Base 🏑 is in the Charlotte area and the folks that run the company have graciously stepped up to be a fill in Bowl πŸ₯£ sponsor for one season.

Now introducing the One & Done FAMOUS TOASTERY BOWL πŸ₯£. The game was originally scheduled to kick off the Bowl πŸ₯£ Season Saturday morning πŸŒ„ but now will be played Monday afternoon.

Turns out that they are currently looking for new franchisees !

The Stadium 🏟 on the Campus at Charlotte, Jerry Richardson Stadium 🏟 is set to become the second facility in the State of North Carolina to be a substitute Host. Duke’s Wallace Wade Stadium 🏟 once filled in for the Rose Bowl πŸ₯£ in a War situation back in 1942.

The next clue left said Go South to find out the next step πŸšΆβ€β™‚οΈ in the story.

The next clue said – Go South, Not Go to South Carolina ! Three states in a day and a half, how far South does he want me to go ?

The next clue sent me to the Queens πŸ‘Έ statue at the CLT Airport. Inside of her crown πŸ‘‘ was a note πŸ“ that read- Dig Deeper

Naturally I had to answer to Security about climbing the statue but the Guard πŸ’‚β€β™‚οΈ told me the story of how the Orphaned Bowl πŸ₯£ Game ended up in Charlotte, North Carolina this year. It turns out that the game became Homeless when something went wrong with a gifted Chinese Stadium 🏟??????

Right after China funded a $30 Million $ 🏟 in the Bahamas πŸ‡§πŸ‡Έ they gifted it to the Island 🏝. Shortly after that the πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ people placed an International College Bowl πŸ₯£ Game there and placed it at the head of the Bowl πŸ₯£ season.
