On Thursday we went to downtown Roswell for the Alive After 5 event. This is where the stores in the area stay open until 9. I know what you're thinking, "that's kinda lame". And before Thursday I would have agreed with you. But what I found was there were tons of people walking around enjoying the weather. There were many people handing out food samples, live bands, and many places to get free beer and wine. It was much more fun that I thought. Here are some pictures from the event.
One area was having a chili cook off with about 7 competing chilis. Honestly, none of them were all that great, but I'm not going to turn down free food. Also at the station they had free keg beer and margaritas. Next time, Laura is driving.
After walking around for a while we grabbed some dinner at the Fickle PIckle where we got these delicious pimento cheese fritters which is culinary speak for fried cheese ballz.

That looks like a lot of fun. I have to agree that a chili cook-off in Georgia might spark some lame competition even if they have a don't mess with Texas chili sign.
