2005 FESTIVAL HIGHLIGHTS
Hot Sauce Festival was on Fire
Houston, Texas, (September 27, 2005) - World wide chiliheads were vibrant in supporting the Stehlin Foundation for Cancer Research
at the Houston Hot Sauce Festival on Sept. 17 and 18. The Farm and Ranch Club was overflowing with hot mouths and flavorful tastes.
The festival provided a great profit for the Stehlin Foundation from its 12,000 attendees. Carol Borge, festival organizer plans
this event each year to continue giving back to the Stehlin Foundation for helping in her survival of breast cancer.
"The Hottest Party in Texas, continues to be a great success, year after year. A fun spicy event enabling us to raise money for the
Stehlin Foundation. I couldn't do it without the all of the support from my family and friends who volunteer valuable
time to make the Festival happen."
This 6th annual event was a hit with the vendors, as always, being the Vendors Choice of hot sauce festivals. Families of all sized
enjoyed the entertainment and abundance of samples available. Clog dancers to Zydeco music and even Elvis
provided fun for all ages. The children's area was also a big hit for the little chiliheads with
a coloring contest, jump toys and nutritious apples from Target.
The 110 vendors of hot sauces, jellies and salsas had a successful weekend selling out of their products and spreading their names.
Many vendors went home with People's Choice Awards, such as the Hottest Hot Sauce and Best of Show, which are
voted on by the attendees.
"The hot and fiery food vendors are what make the event what it is. I always look forward to the next September, waiting
impatiently for the new products to come out!"
A special thank you to all. Attendees / Chileheads, Volunteer Staff (our entire staff are volunteers), Sponsors
