>I'm curious how many persons in this listserve have an >opportunity to enter chiles in their respective state fairs. >(In most states, the fair is away from the larger and even >medium-sized cities.

That puts it very nearly in the geographical center of the state, but not at all near the population center. At the far Eastern edge of the state, that puts me about 200 miles away. And then I would have to figure out how to get some good looking chiles ripe when the fair is on and then get them there. I might try sometime, but my work schedule is fairly unpredictable these days. Scott... KCK
