Pepper Festival Is Hot!

The annual Pepper Festival at Sunken Gardens Sunday lived up to its name: It was hot and tasty, with peppers sold by the plant and by the bottle in sauces. Vendors lined the walkway at Sunken Gardens, though there were still plenty of footpath filled only with the tropical flora and fauna of the place. Streams swarmed with oversized goldfish, and people gazed and gaped in delight at the natural treasures of the lovely city garden.
