Results from Blanco's Bar & Grill. Houston TX
What a great day we had in Houston. The rain that we have had for weeks finally came to and end on Thursday and we had a beautiful day on Saturday. The weather was great, we had 47 cooks and 5 show teams. Everyone was in the holiday spirit...or at least holiday spirits with them. I would like to thank Karin Barnes and the staff at Blanco's for a great time. Thanks to the tally team, Ralph Hay, Sherrie Davis, Chuck and Dorothy Spishock. Thanks to my referee Mayo Blair. A special thanks to Pat Krenek ,Maxine Reed, Larry and Nancy Netardus for running the silent auction. Thanks to Al Austin and Sherry Tinnerella for helping out with announcements. Thanks to all the runners, monitors and workers that helped out. Without all of you, I wouldn't have been able to sit back and watch. That's such hard work you know. In reality, we all had a wonderful time. We had many chili friends come in from Beaumont, Cedar Park, Kingsland, Louisianna, and the far reaches of the Guld Coast area to share a wonderful day with us. and we had got a special suprise right before juding started. We had a celebrity judge on our final table; for you basketball fans out there you will understand the exicitement....we had Rudy Tomjanovich...Rudy T on the final table. For non-basketball fans out there....Rudy T was the coach of the Houston Rockets during the back to back championship wins and the attempt for the three-peat.
Thanks again everyone for a wonderul day.

From Cythnia Gill:
Mark your calendars for January 30 and plan on joining us in San Miguel, Mexico for our 1st CASI International CCO. This CCO is incorrect in the Dec and Jan Terlinqua Trails. It is not a State CCO, but an International CCO. The first 3 places will qualify for TICC. The website for our cookoff was incorrectly listed (not CASI's fault - it was the fault of our web hosting company) - it's http://www.chiliandcharros.com/. There will be lots of activities and lots of fun. If you have questions, you can contact me at ynlynn@aol.com or Lisa Tyson at guanajuatochica@gmail.com
NOTE: Please send your CCO results to our new TallyMaster Jenny Windsor. Her address is
Jenny Windsor
210 Kennedy Drive
Severne Park, MD 21146
