Each year on the first Saturday of November CASI holds the ultimate celebration of Chili.  This granddaddy of all chili cookoffs is held at Rancho CASI de Los Chisos in Terlingua, Texas.  The four day celebration begins each year on Wednesday before the big weekend and culminates on Saturday with the Terlingua International Chili Championship - This cookoff decides the International World Champion chili Cook.  It's a Texas tradition of epic proportion -  complete with an annual proclamation from the Governor declaring "Chili Appreciation Society International Day" in Texas.

  There are quite a few photos so I have divided them up into different days, and or categories.
