    Default Chile Pepper festival

    Anyone going to the Chile Pepper Festival in Bowers? Can I carry there? Is it worth the time?

    It's been a couple of years since I was there and nobody was checking. Parking's a hassle and some people actually park as far as a mile away and hoof it in so they think it's worth it. If you go extra early you can get right in like you're a vendor and park up front for free. You could also drive to the Mennonite farm up the road where they have a gazillion varieties of peppers and tomatoes (tomatoes are about done for the year) and they horse and wagon people to the fair I believe that's cheating but you can do it, the ride is supposed to be from the fair to the farm, not the opposite.

    Good to know. Thanks for the info. I’m hoping it will be a fun day for the family.

    I'd like to hear how you make out, what day and time you go, etc. I like going to the farm for a variety of peppers to add to my hot sauce.

    We had a great time today. We were there about noon and left about 330. The food was great, I wouldn't have guessed how many hot sauce flavors are out there. It wasn't too crowded and the temp was perfect, if not a little cold for my wife. We parked on Fleetwood/Main St. in a field and we walked down. It drizzled a little but only for a minute or two. It was $3 for parking and $4 per person donation to get in. I had my MP9 2.0 compact IWB at 3 o'clock. No issues at all. It was a great day and we would definitely go again.

    What did the donation go to?
    Let's not forget there are still species of tropical penguins living in the Galapagos.

    More importantly does the Chili Pepper Festival take the place of a COLONOSCOPY ?

    Rules are written in the stone,
    Break the rules and you get no bones,
    all you get is ridicule, laughter,
    and a trip to the house of pain.

    Good question, I honestly didn't check. I will have to ask next time.

    Your quote made me think of the chili festival scene in Wild Hogs. Lol.

    Maggie: That's too bad. I wanted you to try my chili. It's pretty hot.

    Dudley Frank: No, I'll try it. I like your kind of hot. Chili, chili hot. Food hot. That's the hot I want to kiss. Eat
