Chili Pepper Festival makes its mark
The Chili Pepper Festival, held every year in Berks County in Bowers, is making a name for itself.
The festival, now in its 14th year, has earned a pictorial postmark from the U.S. Postal Service, according to this story in the Reading Eagle. The stamp can only be gotten at the festival in Bill Delong Memorial Park. The festival runs today and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The festival features a new salsa contest this year, and not the dancing kind.
There will also be a chili pepper eating contest and a chili pepper song contest. Both will be held on Saturday.
There is a donation cost for admission.
