From Clyde Rogers:
We had some wind, we had some cold temperatures, but most of all I hope we all had fun. I would like to say thank you to all that came to the 2012 Texas Open Chili Championship in San Antonio.
Congratulations to all the Texas Open winners on Saturday as well as the winners Sunday at the Day After cook off. We had 197 chili Saturday and 67 chili on Sunday. Ricky Mitch took top honors Saturday, way to go Ricky.
I wish I could list all the names of cooks and non-cooks that helped, not sure Janice has the room. The committee members stepped up and really did a great job, as well as did a number of cooks, my hat goes off to all of you.
I would like to also say thanks to our trophy sponsors, chair sponsors, and sponsors of Friends of the Texas Open. It is with your help that enables us to present the funds raised from the cook off to the Wounded Warriors Family Support Center. Thanks to all of you. I hope all had a safe trip home.
My e-mail is always open to suggestions or comments. One comment I have heard has been taken care of. Next year all rounds will be posted for cooks to see where they advanced.
Again thanks to all and God Bless.
