About the Event
Spicing things up for a good cause!
Join the Chopper Foundation at the 29th Annual Chile Pepper Festival in Bowers, PA on Friday & Saturday, September 5 & 6 (9 AM–6 PM, rain or shine) at William DeLong Memorial Park.
We’ll be there to help raise funds for emergency veterinary care—because some heroes don’t wear capes, they fetch burrito wrappers and comfort pets in crisis.
Putt for Chopper—mini golf meets chili festival, but the only burning is your heart doing good!
Catch the Jalapeño Eating Contest on Saturday at 1 PM—where bravery meets spice (and you might leave with bragging rights, a trophy, or $100).
Groove to the tunes of the Chile Pepper Ramblers while you stroll, sample, and support.
