We’re looking for:
🟢 Photos of past Chili & Salsa Tasting Buttons
🟢 Pictures of you, your family, or friends wearing the buttons

Your memories will help inspire the design of our limited-edition 70th Anniversary Chili & Salsa Tasting Button while celebrating the rich history of one of the Festival’s favorite traditions.

So, dig through those old photo albums, keepsake boxes, and memory drawers—we can’t wait to see what you find!
