I am pleased to announce the signing of the newest CASI sponsor, Kiowa Casino of Devol, OK. Kiowa will be underwriting the Southwest Open Chili Championship, which is a five state regional, on Memorial Day Weekend to the tune of 6,000.00. They have pledged 1,000.00 to CASI to begin with.I hope everyone will make an effort to come this year for a totally revamped event with tremendous benefits for the participants. Devol is across the Red River from Wichita Falls on Int. 44.

From Ken Rodd:
Lynn Howell, Barry Poole, Jerry Hunt and many others did a great job putting on their Chili cookoff this past weekend in Lafayette, LA. The "Cajun" hospitality and Friday night crawdad feed was outstanding. This cookoff was also the "Louisiana - Texas Challenge" and Texas took the honors this year. Don Hoy led the 8 Texas cooks in the top ten winning the chili cookoff.

It's time to start thinking about turning in your design for the TICC 2009 Poster. Below are the Rules and Guidelines.
Poster Rules and Guidelines

CASI is looking for a unique, creative design that embodies the essence of TICC and CASI.

Artwork must be original and should include bold colors.

The dimensions of the two posters will be 18” X 24” and 11” X 17”. Submissions do not need to be that size, but they must maintain that proportion. The 11” x 17” poster is an informational poster. Copies of last years posters will be made available in PDF format upon request. These posters may be used as a guideline for some of the content required in the design.

Winning designs may also be used for souvenir TICC shirts.

All entries should include in the title, “43 Annual Terlingua International Chili Championship”, and the date, “November 7, 2009”. It must also list the names of the current Board members and include the CASI logo.

Designs may be sent electronically in a standard graphic format (PDF or JPG) or may be a hard copy, suitable for scanning.

Pictures of last year’s winners and sponsor logos will be made available and must be added to the poster design before printing. Changes to the wording and design may be requested by the Board.

If selected, the artwork becomes the sole property of CASI and the Terlingua International Chili Championship and may or may not be used in any manner CASI desires. The winning designer will receive credit with their name included on the final product.

Submission deadline will be June 20th. Entries must be sent to Janice Miller, 3014 Oak Mountain Trail, San Angelo, TX 76904 or garjans@suddenlink.net. Winning entries will be chosen at the Board of Directors Meeting in Little Rock, Arkansas on June 27, 2008.
