“The February issue of the Trails is now posted on the CASI web site. If you’re tired of inauguration stuff on TV and in the media, go to the web site and get the latest on CASI, cook-offs, articles and more. Please remember to keep sending photos and articles for publication.” (Bucky Seelig)

Please keep Sherrie Davis in your thoughts and prayers. Her father fell and broke his hip last Friday and had surgery on Sunday. The surgery went well but he is in for a long period of rehab at age 94.

RESULTS and UPCOMINGS

I’d like to invite you all to Johnson City for the Texas Men’s State cookoff on March 28. We plan a number of additions to the cookoff events for this year that will include a men-only open beans competition with 100% payback and Saturday afternoon entertainment by singer-songwriter-director, Dean Strickland. Strickland is a very popular entertainer who will be making a movie that will include his appearance at Men’s State. For more on his story , see http://billboard.prweb.com/releases/2008/11/prweb1659324.htm

As usual, come out and have fun. We’ll feed you and keep you entertained.

Bucky Seellig has the distinction of being the first to enter this year. We’ll see if that strategy works for him. If you need an entry form, just let me know. (Alan)
