I'll be there. However, I'm attending a concert in New York City that evening and have to leave the Festival by noon or earlier. I hope to get my Dad to come and see what a chile festival is all about. :^( Someone else will have to take photos of Doug at the chile eating contest this year. I'm looking to buy four things in particular. A Mennonite Chile Pepper Quilted Tablecloth (got the bedspread last year, will pass on it if there is another price increase), a chile pepper theme bath towel and some of that gumbo? chile? cooked by the biker group. It's always sold out and an hour wait when I get there. Lastly, I always get my Halloween pumpkin at the farm. Yours in heat Karen
