Nick's Chile Fest in Colorado

Patsy, Owner of Sandia Seed at Nick's Chile Fest


Oh boy, we went to Nick's Chile Fest this past weekend and it was awesome! So many chile pods and roasting chile - the aroma was intoxicating! They also had tons of free samples from all of their food goodies that they sell at their fabulous garden center.
