Well folks, it is time again to announce the open fields. The chiles
are all safely in the ground and doing as well as can be expected for
90F & 90% humidity.
I am also VERY pleased to announce that our very own Rael has decided to
make the trek from the wilds of Idaho to the wilds of Indiana to runst
among the chile peppers! Yup... a regular Woodstock this is becoming
:-) Now I've just gotta stock up on batteries so that the strains of
Jimi can float across the fields from the CD player. THAT will be a
change for the neighbors ;-)
I'd also like to announce the completion of another cooperative effort
from fellow listers. Brad Ellis and Jeff Shickowski hade been
diligently working on a poster to commemorate the event. It can be seen
at: http://www.wildpepper.com/spacepodesy.html As this event has grown
slighlty larger than the modest means of my wanna be evil corporate
empire can sustain, the purchase of a poster will go towards the rental
of a large tent (so that we can stay dry this year if it rains!) and
porto-pottys to replace the apple trees & horseradish leaves ('nuff
said). I can number the poster to match your chile card or I can number
them all #2 (Jeff & Brad get #1). In keeping with the non-commercial
nature of this list (and the event), any proceeds above and beyond what
are absolutely necessary to cover expenses will be donated to the Local
416 Firefighter Charities (Survive Alive House, Burn Camp, Fallen
Firefighters' Memorial, etc). I regret that as of this posting, payment
is still only by check or money order. I have filled out an app for
credit card processing though and hope to have it up soon (a step
towards becomming an evil corporate empire that I have resisted long
enough I guess).
At the request of several rsvpers', I will also try to secure some rates
at a nearby hotel. If people can start to RSVP me, it'd be
appreciated. Please indicate: arrival date, people attending,
camping/hoteling/staying with us, and any special needs.
Thanks & look forward to seeing everyone there!

BTW- pardon the slow mail. Working our County Fair and trying
(impossible) to keep CaJohn happy at the same time :-)
