All- I second all the things posted already by others. It was an awesome day despite a very rainy week at Bowers once again this year. It never ceases to amaze me what a great group of folks us Chileheads are. We look forward to meeting up with folks we only see sometimes once a year at the famous Bowers Chile Pepper festival. Never made it to the farm again this year as we were just having too much fun at the festival itself. Surprised to not see any of the previous posters mention that there was once again a new champ of the jalepeno eating contest. Click on the link below to see lots of great pics from the festival including at least the following CH's: Doug 'PepperKing' Barnhart, Andy Barnhart, =Mark Stevens, Rich Stevens, Risa, Karen Stober, Janie Lamson, Jeff & Tammy Porter. This festival is so much fun....I would travel a long way to be there. See some of you at Chip's RedLion Hotluck! http://www.shutterfly.com/osi.jsp?i=67b0de21b32f46fc45e2 -JP-
