Rancho CASI is located on the North side of Highway 170, eleven miles West of Study Butte and 7 miles East of Lajitas.

The four day celebration begins each year on Wednesday before the big weekend and culminates on Saturday with the Terlingua International Chili Championship©. It's a Texas tradition of epic proportion.

Friday of this week is referred to as CASI Scholarship Day. Everyone is welcome to try their hand at competitions and/or judging of International Bean Championship©, International Hot Wings Championship© and International Salsa Championship©. All proceeds for entry fees on this day go to the CASI Scholarship Fund. It is a fun day before the big chili day and open to anyone.
