The open fields event is the 23rd and 24th of September. It is where chileheads of all sorts come & camp in my chile fields and help themselves to whatever they care to pick and take. I usually have more than I can harvest & am happy to share the wealth. Come & camp or stay at anyone of several hotels within a 20 mile radius. Watch for announcements later in the year. A chipotle is a pecan or mesquite smoked jalapeno. The term is degenerating into any type of smoked chile though. If you'd like a picture of a chipotle, go to the store and look at a prune. Now pretend it is a chile and there you have it :-) -Jim C MWPH
