    I love the Pueblo festival! This year (2023) it was the best I've seen it so far - they rearranged…read morethe stands a little and there are a ton of places, I spent hours there. I think they should not charge for entry, I feel like it's a little bit weird plus they only accept cash or some online payment method, however there is NO CELLULAR RECEPTION in the place, and that's why I can't give them 5 stars. There is also a good shuttle service but we did wait a little long. Some stands are too expensive, especially the food stands. Prices should be more affordable. Also, I couldn't find a stand with the official event merch this year, maybe I just missed it. So overall, this is a great experience and I love supporting the Pueblo chile farmers, however, a few things to still improve: * faster shuttle service * no fee to enter * provide cellular reception. this is simply ridiculous! * some stands charge outrageous prices the good: * can get fresh chiles * lots of food options * lots of other stands * happy atmosphere * so much to do

    The salsa and chili contest was disappointingly unorganized, at least for the non-commercial…read moreeateries, which is what I entered. Entered the salsa contest and was turned away due to my salsa being two degrees too warm. Was told I could come back if it was cool enough but I had to go back to work. Paid $10 to enter. I understand good safety. I get that they could only accept salsa at 45degrees or colder. But to only have one person with one thermometer checking the temp for all the food, both hot and cold, seemed unprepared. There should be two check in stations- one for the chili and another for the salsa. Separate thermometers for both good types. Also- was there no refrigeration for the salsa entrees? They provided hot plates for the chili but nothing to accommodate salsa they did accept? That means the salsa they are all testing and tasting will sit out and gradually get warmer regardless. Therefor, how would coming back once it's cooler even do anything? Make it make sense. After standing in line for an hour and a half, regardless of how iced my cooler was that held my salsa, it stands to reason anything will lose cool when out of refrigeration for that long. Ergo, this who ordeal seems to need some reorganization and better planned execution of accepting entrees. I hope more people input constructive criticism for this part of the event or any other part that they attended, because I love Pueblo, my home, and I want anything that puts it on the map in positive ways to do well- and anything and everything can and should be improved. Thank you.
