Kids and adults made chile ristras Saturday morning at the Silver City Museum. As soon as one entered the museum, the tantilizing smell of chiles drew one to where the craft was happening.

Hillary Pierce, Silver City Museum education curator and CLG coordinator, works on her own ristra in between helping others make theirs.

Dominic Torres, 8, ties in another chile.

Destiny Torres, 6, Dominic's sister, gets help from Hillary.

Analyse Waldron, 16, creates her ristra.

D'Ana Torres, grandmother of Dominic and Destiny, helps her niece, Courtney Torres, 8, with a ristra.
