From Barby Harris O'Brien:

Note : Your quiz question for the Day!!! Do you know the Latitude and Longitude in front of the Stage at TICC?

From Michael A. Mayorga:


OK, folks, the 32nd, Annual Texas Open is only about a week and a half away. See the attached flyer for pre-registration. We’ve got some really great registration gifts to the first 100 cooks to register. Once again it’ll be a Papa’s Ice House in The Woodlands. Plenty of RV parking (no hook-ups) and several hotels close by. Why not mail in your registration today.

AND REMEMBER THE NEW RULE CHANGE THAT ALLOWS AUTOMATICALLY QUALIFYING THE TOP FIVE (5) COOKS, WITH 150 COOKS REGISTERED/CHILIS TURNED-IN. WOULDN’T THAT BE NEAT!!

See the trails for all the details. Last year’s Texas Open was a great CCO; and this year’s is shaping up to be better than ever. Come on out and be one of “the 5 of 150!”


From Ron Barnes:

While I realize there are three worthy cookoffs in the DFW to choose from on Saturday, I would like to make a pitch for the 4th Annual Red Hillard CCO. This event is being held at the VFW in Lewisville at 997 E. Highway 121 Business (just north of Lewisville proper) and benefs the Veterans Relief Fund. For those who don't know them, this is the group you have seen perform show as the USO Show, lip-syncing to the oldies. They are truly a great group of fun people. We will have jackpot beans for a $5 entry with a noon turn in. CASI chili (grind only) is $18 with a 1:00 pm turn-in. Junior chili is free and has a 2:00 p.m. turn-in. There will be a 50/50 drawing and there is always a great raffle table. There are more details and directions (very easy to find) in the latest Trails. So, while you are contemplating your chili destination for Saturday, don't forget about Lewisville. You can contact Mary or Earl Sanders at 940-321- 2706 or the Post 972-436-5256. We appreciate ya and hope to see you there!
