CASI Return to Ontario a Smashing Success
The Lions Club in Burk's Falls, Ontario brought off the first CASI cookoff in Ontario in many years very successfully this past weekend. The crowd that came were treated to a fine day of music, country jamboree style, and some fine Texas style chili enthusiastically prepared by the competing cooks. Even though it rained most of the day a fine time was had by all involved. The bloody caesars were flowing early in the day to help fortify the cooks against the rainy weather. Cooks and prospective sponsors are already talking about having this and other cookoffs in the area next year.
Cooks who Q'd for TICC, as this was the Provincial Championship, are
looking forward to coming toTerlingua. Passing around some typical Krazy Flats
photos and giving the winner some "starter beads" definitely helped in this
regard.
The friendliness and hospitality of all involved made this one of the
"most fun" cookoffs I've participated in outside of Texas in a long time. For
those who like to travel, and believe me this would be a trek for any CASI cooks
south of the border, you would not be disappointed coming to an Ontario cookoff
next year.

From Bill Pierson:
Greetings,
The August 15th deadline for registering for the 2012 CASI Great Peppers meeting is fast approaching. Real fast. I sure you want to attend, and I'm sure you want your pod represented, but you need to register yourself, or a proxy by Wednesday.
Given that this is Tuesday, you should email the form as it would probably not make it by mail. If you have already mailed it, let me know so I can expect you.
Look forward to seeing you in Irving,
bp
Bill Pierson
NOTE: I do not have all of the Credential Annual Reports. If I don't have them, you will not be a voting member at the Great Pepper's Meeting. If you need help, let me know. Tomorrow is the deadline!
FROM DANA PLOCHECK
Just a friendly reminder that if you have pictures, a Cookoff
Ad, and/or an article you would like to have in the September Trails please get
it to me ASAP. I will not be available next weekend so I’m trying to get as
much of the Trails completed BEFORE the 15th deadline. Your help is
appreciated. Thanks.
