Wingfest 2017 June 17th, 11am-4pm The Arc of High Point is committed to securing for all people with intellectual and developmental disabilities the opportunity to choose and realize their goals of where and how they learn, live, work, and play. The Arc of High Point is an affiliated chapter of The Arc of the North Carolina and The Arc of the United States. The Arc of High Point will host its 10th annual WingFest fundraiser Saturday, June 17th, 11am-4pm. Seven local restaurants compete for the Best Wings in the Triad. Entering its ninth year at the Piedmont Triad Farmers Market (Colfax), “Wingers” compete in categories for Best Hot Wing, Best BBQ Wing, Best Sweet Wing, Best “Naked” Wing and Best House Wing. There is also an overall Best Wing category, and a People’s Choice Award.

You can enjoy Wings and Beer! Clay JD Walker from 93.1 The Wolf will be with us throughout the event and will judge our annual “Lord of the Wings” wing eating contest.
