Chili Fest 2016 with the Colorado Traveling Ducks

Last Saturday, Zeb and Soapy Smith Duck, went to nearby Brighton, Colorado to a Chili Fest.

Chili Fest 2016

A sure sign of fall in Colorado is the aroma of chilis being roasted.

There were seven machines for chili roasting here, so the aroma of roasting chilis certainly filled the air.   This Chili Fest was held at Lulu’s Farm Roadside Market.

This farm market is open all year, so there is always something fresh and delicious here.   And, the farm is right here.

Since this was a chili fest, we purchased Rocky Mountain Green Chili Mix.

It is made in Littleton, Colorado, a southern suburb of Denver.   We like buying things produced here in Colorado.   There were samples of this green chile and many other samples available.    Visit them at http://www.MyGreenChili.com   It is always nice to try before we buy.   Another booth was offering frozen green chili.   J. Dogg Phair green chili is made right here in Denver.
