A Bunch of Pics from the Chile & Frijoles Festival

In September, I spent an afternoon at the (Loaf N' Jug Presents) Chile & Frijole Festival, in downtown Pueblo, Colorado. They really love their chilies down here; here's a description of what's basically going on in a lot of these pics. Anyway, it was an altogether pleasant afternoon:


















Check out the chile mask... the air was so thick with roasted chili particulate that, in a few places, you kind of felt like someone had been pepper-sprayed nearby. It was not 100% pleasant.


Also check out the heat rising from the chile-roasting drum, distorting the light....



Supplies.

A whole roasting pig, corn on the cob, and more types of peppers than you can count. Seems like a nice way to spend a day.
