Im a small batch hot sauce,marinades and appetizer s company
The Pepper Fest in Hudson, WI doesn’t appear to have much to do with hot sauce or chili. It has some stuffed green bell peppers and banana peppers, but the rest appears to be pasta and Italian meat dishes. I don’t see any vendors for anything besides some t-shirts and necklaces. Let me know if I’m wrong and I’ll drive up there.
