Hatch Chile Festival- Labor Day Weekend

This roof is silver, it just looks red because it's covered in red chilies.
Sat. we checked out the Hatch Chile Festival.  We were disappointed.  It was basically your typical cheap town carnival with a New Mexico twist. We bought some roasted green chilies and made salsa and enchiladas with them. We'll go again next year to visit the town coffee shop and buy some chilies, we just won't bother with the festival.
Roasted green chilies

A taste of Mexico. The guy I bought this from started at $65 and dropped the price a couple of times until he was at $20, "because this is the last day and then we're going back to Mexico", I had gotten that exact line from another guy five minutes earlier at a different booth. So I asked him if he'd do $15, I probably could have got him down to $10, I guess I need to work on my negotiating skills.

Read the menu- we weren't daring enough to try anything crazy but I'm kicking myself for not trying the Jalapeno Lemonade- Oh well next year.  Joseph wanted to touch the KFC statue so bad but was scared. He'd inch closer then when we encouraged him he'd back up- he's too cute!
