> Does anybody know when the Tucson Chile Pepper Festival is Scheduled for? > .... will it still be at the Botanical Gardens? > Chris, Yes, the Fiesta de los Chiles will be occurring as usual in October at the Tucson Botanical Gardens. According to their webpage (http://www.azstarnet.com/~tbg/), it occurs the third weekend in October (this year the 17th and 18th). You could, of course, double check by giving the garden a call at 520-326-9686 ... I missed last year, but hope to make it this time - perhaps I'll see you there ... DAVe
