Bring your Valentine and come join the Concho Valley Chili Pod for a Valentine Massacre CCO.  Friday night we are going to have a Taco Bar Meal.  Pot Lucks are welcomed.  Saturday, we will have a Chili Cook Off.  Turn in time will be 2:00 PM.  We will have a 50/50 raffle and a Desert Auction followed by our Saturday Meal.  The Saturday Meal will have the meat (a brisket) provided.  Pot Lucks are welcomed.  It is a great place to celebrate Valentine's Day and at the same time cook some chili.  Sunday, the turn in time will be 12:00 noon.  Both cookoffs are Chili Grind only.  Hope to see you there!

From Clyde Rogers:
Traders` Village has stepped up to help chili cooks with a place to stay while at the Texas Open. To give cooks an additional hotel to choose from Traders` Village made arrangements with the Courtyard Marriott. It is located at 11603 Hwy 151. It is about 13 miles from the cook off. The reservation information is shown. Hope to see all at Traders` Village for the 2nd annual Texas Open.

NOTE: Does your Pod have a web site that is listed on the CASI web page?  If you do and it is no longer current or active, please let me know.  We want to do a cleanup of those listed.  If your Pod has one and it is not listed on the web page, please contact me.
It's Wednesday and time to list this weekend's cookoffs.
