COVID Cancelled the 2020 Chile Festival
But you can still get your Roasted Chile and support SOTV’s Community Partners at the
FRUIT BASKET ON 4th St.
The Fruit Basket has supplied SOTV Chile Fest with chile for years. They have generously agreed to donate a portion of sales to our congregation and friends to help SOTV support our Community Partners: Heading Home, Wings for Life and SOTV Preschool as they face new challenges from the pandemic.
The chile season is early this year and The Fruit Basket is currently roasting so from now until August 23rd mention the SOTV CHILE FESTIVAL to the cashier when you buy your Chile and you will be supporting our partners in this challenging time.

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.
