Small town reshapes big city joke into warm hospitality
A Columbia station advertised a No Contest Contest offering Warsaw North Carolina as the prize trip but Warsaw residents rewrote the punchline. The Wilsons were greeted by 200 locals, given honours from Gov. Hunt, a city key, a pig picking barbecue and tours of Warsaw Kenansville and Turkey. The town says the prank turned into a goodwill boost and wider notice of the community.
