Yes, I know this is old news, but you haven't heard it!!
Sunny skies and warm daytime temperatures greeted the throngs of the faithful at the 2008 Terlingua International Chili Championship hosted by Chili Appreciation Society International (CASI) at Rancho CASI de los Chisos in Terlingua. Local “winners” included these recipients of donations from CASI: Terlingua Medics $5,000; Terlingua Volunteer Fire Department $2,000; Terlingua Schools $2,000; Terlingua Area Matching Program $2,000; Brewster County $2,000; and CASI School Fund $4,000.
Despite the noticeably lower turnout than in recent years, Dianne Fitzhenry of CASI said that 319 samples of chili were turned in for judging.
Susan Dean of Jackson City, TX won first place in the 2008 Terlingua Chili Championship. “I’m in shock,” said Dean. “I actually can’t believe it. This is the most exciting thing in my life, other than the birth of my two children.” Dean first entered the cook off in 1998, when she won 7th place. Last year she won 4th place.
The 43rd Terlingua International Chili Championship will be held at Rancho Casi de los Chisos in Terlingua, Texas on November 7, 2009. Start making your plans now!!!
