Things are progressing nicely for the Open Fields. Looks like a lot of the regulars will be back again, including a return visit from the Reuffers who will be bringing baby Savina to her first Open Fields. Chuck Evans (author of the Hot Sauce Bible with Dave DeWitt) is also going to be there in the 'celebrity' section. Rael and his Twister(R) mat have also confirmed :-) Hard to decide who is a 'regular' CH and who counts as a 'celebrity' :-P I am also pleased to announce, that through a too generous contribution from Chile Woman, the Susan Byers Memorial Wash-stand and Outhouse, has been funded. No more apple tree leaves and midnight treks to the Amoco station :-) Lots of you have inquired about posters for this years event as well. Jeff S is finishing up the touches on a pretty neat one that should be available shortly. It'll be a 8.5" x 11" so as to not take up so much room this time :-) Sniff sniff. I smell Red Savinas(R) and apple wood on the smoker as of this afternoon as well :-) It continues to absolutely amaze me how this event has grown! You all need to get a life! :-P See alot of you shortly. -Jim C Mild to Wild
