Following the ever annoying trend of another chili cooking day in the rain, the 1st annual Rawhide Rustle which took place in Olathe, Kansas saw Lee Kroencke win another cook off. Again proving that chili is growing in Kansas. This was our 8th CASI cook off in this calendar year with 6 more scheduled to take place. Cecila Rivera and Cindy Stovall won 2 pair of tickets in our raffle to the Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers concert which takes place this Tuesday. Erwin Clark won the 50/50 cooks pot and promptly donated it back to the charity (MDA). A special thanks to Harold Distler from the Central HOG chapter for coordinating this wonderful event and to Rawhide Harley Davidson.
