Please join us at the Western Heritage Museum and Lea County Cowboy Hall of Fame on July 9th and help us celebrate our state’s official question: “Red or Green?”, and learn about all things chile peppers! Participants will be designing their own aprons to take home and putting together a chile recipe book! They will also make origami peppers and have an opportunity to speak to the New Mexico Chile Association, who will be on hand to with a display of chile pods, plants, seeds, and great information! This event is free and open to the public!

We need your recipes! Please send your favorite red or green chile dish recipe to lhockensmith@nmjc.edu by July 7th to have it added to the collection participants can choose from and put in their chile recipe book!
