Pueblo, CO will be hosting their 25th Annual Chili and Fijoles Festival in early Sept. I went one time and it was delight to see so much food! The air was filled with the smell of chili...yummy!  They are expecting a record-breaking crowd.this year and the chili crops are abundant.

@SilleeMee.  Yeah, there's been a lot of talk here lately about that Colorado chile.  Hasn't  been good.

We got a case at Gelson's last year. We split it with our two sons. Oh, my are the good.

We bring them home and spread them flat on baking sheets to cool, and then froze in baggies. It looked like a factory and smelled like heaven.

I wonder if the recent drought here in S CO has something to do with that? This year the drought conditions have greatly improved so let's hope for a good festival.

Viva la fiesta! and let the chili war rage on...NM vs CO chili wars!
