Please consider this note. an invitation to one and all to attend Open Fields 2010. This year's dates are set for Sept 24th, 25th, & 26th. The location of the event, as always, is "somewhere in Indiana". Figure Indy for your drive times & you'll land pretty close. Please also note, that this will likely be the last Open Fields. Due to changing jobs early last year, I'm having to scale back much of the pepper biz. There just isn't enough time in the day. 12 & 14 hour days at the firehouse don't leave me much in the mood to come home from work, only to have to go to work. Nothing too sad though- I'll still be lurking and I'll get to quit aspiring to the ranks of "evil corporate types" :-) I've also a friend coming all the way over from Australia & this guy really knows how to enliven a party :-D Some of you have run across 'Horrible Haggis' at Houston & Zest Fest a few years back. The stories are legendary & mostly all true ;-) We'll need a good suggestion for this year's poster- something reflecting 'the end' (have fun with that Rael ;-) and NOT involving me! "Trails End" with a chile instead of a spear? A hab on a stage taking a bow? It's been priceless. -Jim C http://www.StepUpforCharity.org
