Chili Cook-Off was a success, thank you!

Please accept my thanks and heartfelt gratitude to each of you for your involvement and support of this year's Stop, Drop, & Roll Chili Cook-Off. We were very successful and the event is growing each year - that is the sign of a tradition in the making.

The event hosted 2900 attendees; 33 CASI Chili Teams; 4 CASI Show Teams; 28 Novice Teams (only 21 submitted chili to the judges - the other 7 were just there to help us feed the crowd - thank you!); 15 vendor/display booths; 40+ chili judges; loads of auction goodies; 4 firefighter contest teams; and lots of new sponsors, donors, and supporters. Funds raised (including all elements of our annual campaign) were in excess of $80,000.00. This figure does not even include the value of in-kind donations from folks like Budweiser, Clear Channel, ESPN, 93.3 The Bone, Kerby Wilcox's Iron Pig BBQ, The Grapevine Fire Department, and so many others that gave of their services to help us meet our goals of supporting the fire service of this great nation.

Check out the "Click" section of the Star Telegram for photographs of the chili cook-off. You can also view more pictures taken by one of our beloved volunteers.

Thanks again, everyone!

In this awesome pattern of things you'll

secure an A+ with regard to hard work. Where exactly you actually lost everybody was on the facts. As people say, details make or break the argument.. And that could not be

much more correct right here. Having said that, allow me inform you precisely what

did do the job. Your authoring

is incredibly

persuasive and this is probably the reason why

I am taking an effort in order to comment. I do not make it a regular habit of

doing that. Next, despite the fact that I can

certainly see a leaps in logic you come up with, I am not convinced of how you seem to

connect the ideas which make

your final result. For right now I will

yield to your issue however trust in the future

you actually link the facts better.
