That would be poetic, wouldn't it?

Actually it started as a walk through of Meadow View farm, a Mennonite farm in 
eastern Pa. 6 or 7 years ago as a way to promote their specialty produce.  
After a couple years they got together with the local village of Bowers to 
sponsor a full blown chile festival complete with vendors, live music, tours of 
the farm and of course a chile eating contest (which was won last year by a 
member of the Chileheads contingent).  There is an article about the farm in 
the latest issue of Chile Pepper Magazine.  Photos of last years festival can 
be seen at:
