Chile Roasting and Food
What would a Chile Festival be without Chile Roasting and Festival Food. Get your sack of chile fresh roasted while you get a delicious meal from local food trucks and our own food and drink tent.
When Chile Fest ends, all the volunteers tend to "go dark" for a few weeks. Church volunteers, in particular, usually have postponed projects to resume or complete and it sometimes takes a while to pay all the bills (tents, food, fans, CHILE) and the church finance committee to close the books. Never fear, we will have totals and sponsor thank you's and more soon(ish). We so appreciate all our sponsors, visitors, crafters, volunteers, entertainers and partners so, for now, a general GIANT THANK YOU to everyone who did what you did so very well.
