From Clyde Rogers:
There are a few items I felt would be helpful for the cooks to know upon arrival at the Texas Open.
First off, chili cooks will enter at the far right pay booth as you drive in. There is to be a sign there that says "CHILI COOKS." When you enter they will ask if you are chili cooks and how many people there are. They will give you a parking pass to be placed on the mirror of your auto. You will then proceed straight ahead to get to the parking lot in which we will be set up. I first was told we could park under the canopy and tail gate cook Sat. The San Antonio Fire Department says "NO." Cooks will have to unload their belongings and move their autos to the parking lot. There will be no vehicles allowed on the pavilion after 9:00 am. If you are not unloaded on the pavilion by that time, you have to carry your cooking items to the pavilion. I am sorry for this inconvenience, but this being Traders Village`s first event, they are finding a lot out. Everyone needs to park as close as possible so we will all fit in this parking area. This way no one will have to park in the front parking. Myself or another cook will be out to aid in the parking. PETS. As you enter at the pay booth, you will see a sign that says "NO PETS." We cannot have pets on the pavilion during market hours, meaning when Traders Village is open to the public. We will need to keep all pets at our motor homes or trailers during these hours. If need, they can be taken to the grass area on a leash and taken back to the motor homes. Gates are locked at 9:00 pm each night. Security will be there, so I am going to talk with them about cooks staying at hotels who will be leaving after 9:00 pm. The gates will be open at 6:30 am Saturday and Sunday morning. Be sure and check with myself or another committee member before you set up on the pavilion. Gulf carts can be used to go from the pavilion to our RV`s. Also, no more entries should be mailed in after this date (today). If you have not registered, please do so at the cook off. There will be registration Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. Bring your best recipe so you can claim the first Texas Open Champion at San Antonio`s Traders Village. Everyone have a safe trip.
From Dianne Stimson:
The Out West Bar and Grill 4th Annual Chili Cook Off was held on Saturday 2-12-2011, and the Next day Cook Off was held on Sunday 2-13-2011. The weather was really nice for a change, a little windy..., but not COLD !!!! As always, Mike & Wanda went out of their way to make us feel welcomed. They had wonderful food! They are in the planning stages for next years cook off as I write this. I would like to thank all of the cooks who came out to support the 2 day event. With out you, we would not have had the successful cook offs that we did. Next, I would like to thank my head judge for both days, Donna Conrad; my tally teams John Caffey, Bill Lester, Donna Conrad, Angie Duke, Blu Kriska, and David Mankse; my Table Monitors, Johnnie Sullivan, Randy Duke, Mark Sanders, David Manske and Frances Sullivan; and Pat Pilchiek for all of her help. I am sure I have forgotten someone, so if I have, please forgive me. It was not intentional. Now to the results.

Saturday February 26 is almost here! Bring Family and Friends - Free Admission
Overland Park VFW Post #846 Chili Cook-Off includes Pies, Beans, and of course...
CHILI - both Homestyle and CASI. Located at 8804 Grant Street.
The weather may be unpredictable, but this Chili Cook Off is not! We'll be cooking indoors since no one can keep up with mother nature this year. Come out and enjoy the absolute best Chili and friends you can find!
Remember last year - this is the event to attend. Arrive early because we anticipate another large turn out (and we know how superstitious cooks can be about their spots)
CASI category is Chili Grind Only. All CASI rules apply to this category.
For more details email me or contact Regional Referree Larry Velasquez at 913- 708-2118 larry.velasquez@forbo.com
JUDGES - We still need a few more judges! Let us know right away if you would like to judge. gladiatorchil@yahoo.com All Judges must be 18 years of age, and can not be the spouse of a CASI entrant.
Can't wait to see you then and fire up our stoves! (that reminds me - small green propane or "hair spray" propane stoves only - fire regulations)
