RESULTS and UPCOMINGS

“Rose City Chili Cookoff. Although we did not advertise pre-registration for our cookoff, our reputation of having some really "Good" goody bags is spreading and I just got a boatload of more stuff donated this morning, such as umbrellas from our local paper. They are also sending a team out and said to "Bring It On" because they are coming to win Chili, Show and People's Choice.
I have at this time 7 registered with their money in my hand, so in all fairness, if anyone is wanting a goody bag, the first 25 registered AND paid cooks will receive one. I will already be gone next Friday, so if I must receive your check by Thursday, March 4 to be counted. Mail to Rose City Chili Pod, 10358 CR 3101, Winona, TX 75792.” Blu Daniels

“It is time for pay back to friends of CASI. The Irving Elks will be having their 22nd annual chili cookoff. This event has been on the same week end for 22 years. As most of you know the Irving Elks host the CASI Directors winter meeting at their lodge. You can ask any Director and they will tell you what wonderful host they are. The Irving EKLS are not only sponsors but friends of CASI. They send several members to TICC to judge. They have bought tables and chairs for us. Also hauled things down to the site for CASI. So lets be at their CCO March 6th. See the Terlingua Trails for other information.” Bruce Stewart

“Need to send out a big TEXAS SIZED THANK YOU to: Tony Del Nano from Mountain City Meats he was able to get all the meat donated for the CASI Last Battle Over Bagdad Chilicook of in Iraq. Rick Goodman is our shipping guy. David is from Killeen TX, he is a chili cook and is a CASI member. Lastly but certainly not least Donna Conrad coordinated all of this and made it happen. Without these folks the troops would not have chili meat to cook with. Please take a moment to thank them!!” Jenny Windsor
