Open fields is this September- provided I clear planting again with
the land lord ;-) Dates will be Sept 25, 26, 27. The focus of the
event is the fund raiser for the StepUpforCharity.org cause.
Invites for the hot sauce contest will go out shortly. This year
however, I will not even pretend that I will be able to get a trophy
out. It will strictly be done for bragging rights and a fancy
certificate and the knowledge that you've made the father of a fallen
police officer, the relatives of a soldier killed on 9-11, and the kid
of a lucky firefighter VERY happy. ALL of the money raised will go to
the StepUp causes.
There are a LOT of changes being forced upon the pepper biz at the
moment. As there's a 300 lb, red headed canary telling everyone
(CaJohn), it's no secret anymore that I was recently promoted to
Division Chief. This takes me off of my (23 years!!!) usual schedule
of 24/48 and onto a M-F, 6 AM to 5 PM schedule. As anyone who has
ordered from me in the last few weeks can attest, that's put quite the
hurt on the pepper gig!
To attend Open Fields, please send me a note with the subject of "Open
Fields". I've almost 13,000 chiles planted strictly for your
pleasure. Come help yourself, mingle with the great chileheads found
there, thank the ones that have sent chile seeds, and bring a few
bucks for the raffle. Lots of great stuff is donated by the generous
chilehead community.
