From Ken Rodd:
Austin Lone Star RV Resort Weekend was a tremendous success with 66 cooks turning in Chili.
The cookoff went well, 66 cooks made reservations for next years Lone Star RV Resort Weekend - Carefree donated $250 to the CASI Scholarship Fund.
A new cook since Oct won the cookoff. We had a cook that stopped cooking chili in 1992 after 10 years of cooking, making a return to the chili world and attended. He was from Houston.
Tim Collier placed and beat his wife who placed also.
Connie Collier beat out Tim Collier for the cook that traveled the furthest - you can ask Tim how he lost this close race.
Lone Star Weekend is going to make a donation to the CASI Scholarship Fund in Memory of John Caffey's son and one in memory of Don Hoy's mother.
