HAPPY ST PATRICK'S DAY
From Elton Homesley:
Hello everybody!
I hope you all had a good time at the TICC domino tournament. I know that it has been a few months since that occurred, but I think I need to wrap things up for whoever will do it in the future. Most of you may know that there are going to be more of these events at other large cookoffs and I hope that TICC will keep going too. However I will not be running any of them. But I won't just drop out completely. I am trying to put together some of the things that proved to work pretty good so that other big time 42 tournament operators can have some starting groundwork to build on.
Most of you either played in the TICC 42 event or helped with the logistics. Some did both. Since then I have been queried for other tourneys at other cookoffs. So now I would like the benefit of your thoughts. I am not looking for pats on the back or grumblings because you didn't win. I want to know from each of you:
What you think could be improved?
What didn't work smoothly?
What would you like to see changed with the tournament organization?
With the selection of teams?
With the number of teams limitations?
With the advertisements ahead of time?.
With the assignment to the various first levels of play?
How about the prizes? Entry fee? Giving money to the CASI Scholarships? Playing environment?
Timing of games?
Any thoughts you might have with any aspect of the tournament.
Whatever you provide will hopefully help improve future tournaments, gamesmanship, and/or fun for all. And most of all it should help future promoters of 42 tourneys for the betterment of chili cooks everywhere who look forward to active evenings around a domino table.
Thanks for your help! Send your thought to me at toko@goshawkenv.com
From Kim Hiley:
I failed to report a correction and change to the SAP CASI Cook-off this weekend at Traders' Village in San Antonio. The Trails lists a Peoples' Choice Contest. Unfortunately we have to cancel this due to Health Department regulations. Not only can we not have the Peoples' Choice contest but we also cannot hand out samples. We hope to have this issue corrected next year so that everyone has a chance to sample and enjoy our wonderful CASI chili. Sorry for any problems this may have caused.
NOTE: It is time to begin thinking about TICC and the Poster Contest. Here is the information.
Poster Contest Guidelines
- When designing the piece of art, please keep in mind that the poster is a vital element to the success of the event. The artwork that is chosen will not only become the official poster of the Terlingua International Chili Championship, but it will also possibly add to the development of the retail merchandise.
- The artist should design an initial draft of poster artwork. If selected, the artist will work with CASI staff in making changes and developing the final piece.
- Artwork must incorporate the following elements:
* Name of Event: Terlingua International Chili Championship
* Annual Designation: 45th Annual
* Date of Event: November 5, 2011
- Artist should keep in mind that the finished poster must also include the Sponsor Logos and pictures of the previous year’s winners.
- Artist should design artwork with the use of bold colors.
- Actual size of the finished poster must be 18" X 24" and artwork must be camera ready.
- If selected, artist agrees to relinquish ownership of artwork.
- If selected, artwork becomes the sole property of the Chili Appreciation Society International, Inc.
- If selected, artist agrees to sign and number fifty (50) prints within 30 days of request.
Poster submissions must be mailed to the Executive Director by no later than June 1, 2011. Her address is 3014 Oak Mountain Trail, San Angelo, TX 76904. Her email address is garjans@suddenlink.net.
Minutes from the Winter Board Meeting have been sent to the Great Pepper's. I will post them to the web page in the History Section as soon as we can resolve the problems with the new update.

What a wonderful day - the weather was perfect - a little windy, but great for cooking chili. We filled up the parking lot with 51 cooks plus friends and family. We had several new cooks competing. 20 beans were turned in.
Got to thank Mayo Blair for the beautiful Final Table setting - they were able to celebrate St. Patties Day a little early with green, green, green. Cindy Reed-Wilkins was the Final Table Monitor and gave the Judges an all inspiring talk about CASI, judging chili and having FUN.
We celebrated a few birthdays also - Chuck Spishock and Dee Hay. Susan Armand met a lady during jury duty - she thought this sounded like lots of fun - BOY was it ever for her - she got the 50/50 money and now it looks like we have a new follower and possible cook. Teena and Taylor presented Dorothy Spishock with a THANK YOU stained glass picture which had on it the State of Texas and an S. Thank you Dorothy for all of the years of work you put in being our Great Pepper.
Teena Miller (GP) and her staff did a bang up job in getting things put together and running a smooth cook off - Thanks a bunch to Pat Krenek, Maxine Reed and Sharon Dozier for doing the silent auction. Laura Recovery Center brought in some beautiful baskets for the auction.
As usual the Moose Lodge took care of us and we want to thank them for all they do for the cook off.

Thank you Keith for the idea, it was overwhelmingly a success. And for those who may not have seen the Final Table at our Rose City chili cookoff, here it is. Thank you Wanda for the black tablescloths and candle holders. Also a picture of the hand-painted ceramic platters trophies
From Jamie Ballenger:
Mark your Calendar for May 14th and 15th. The final CCO in our buckle series is going to be held at Super C Labor Day at the Lake. It is like LJT, but with bull riding, fishing, boating, volleyball tournaments, plus motor cross. You name it, they've got it! It was a great time last year. They came to us about having CASI there this year, instead of Bar BQ like last year. Adam is already doing some amazing advertising. He is one of the founders of the PBR, so he has lots of connections. We are super excited about this, and can't wait for it to kick off. This is his 3rd year doing the music festival and he sees many years to come.
