Dear CASI Member,
We would like to invite you to the 2nd Annual CASI Chili Cook-off Competition at Lone Star Park on Memorial Day Monday, May 30.

Enjoy live music by Incognito beginning at 11 a.m. and our Family Fun Park activities including Bounce Houses, Pony Rides and a Petting Zoo from noon to 4 p.m.
Plus, one lucky fan will drive off on a Harley-Davidson® Sportster. Make sure to pick up your entry form when you check-in, so you can enter to win!
Load-in and registration will take place between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. near the West Entrance of the Grandstand. Chili Turn-in will be at 2 p.m. When you arrive, take Lone Star Parkway to Parking Gate 5 to enter the grounds and follow the signs to the cook-off site.
Tents are provided and set-up will be available on a first-come, first served basis. Due to our license, alcohol is not permitted to be brought on property however 16 oz. can beer will be sold for a discounted price of $2.50 at approximately 10:30 a.m. to any cook-off participants of age.

We look forward to seeing you at the 2011 Lone Star Million Chili Cook-off!
From Happy Hinman:
For the CCO at the Schertz VFW on June 11, they have stated that Campers are welcomed, but please do not park in the parking lot. However, they would appreciate it if the campers would park in the outer perimeters around the actual parking lot. The hall may be rented for that evening and they would need the space in the parking lot for their guests. But even if the parking lot is full, there is plenty of space on the outer perimeters for the campers. They were very nice about it and welcomed anyone who wants to park there. Please let me or Carol Cornelison know if you plan to bring your camper so that we can give them an estimate of how many campers will be there.
Gumbo cooks can sell their gumbo. The event sells tickets and reimburses the cooks 70 percent. I'm still looking into the cooks selling throw down chili. I'll let you know.
From Barbara Herrin:
Just a reminder that Tom Green County is under a Burn Ban, but I have checked and we can use our propane stoves, just no open fires. Hope to see you at Water Valley Park for a weekend of fun, food and of course CCO.
May you have a great Memorial Day Weekend. Please be careful and safe. Please take a minute to remember our fallen heros who died to guarentee our freedom!
