If I am 300 Chief Jim is 225! Congrats anyway, just hope you are more afccurate with your training... I can post from my phone now, so I can defend myself! I've been reading all along and enjoying the activity. My best to all! ------Original Message------ From: Jim Sender: owner-chile-heads@globalgarden.com To: chile-heads@globalgarden.com ReplyTo: Jim Subject: [CH] Open Fields and other stuff Sent: Mar 29, 2009 7:59 PM 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. -Jim C http://www.StepUpforCharity.org Sent from my BlackBerry® smartphone with SprintSpeed
