Chestnuts and the HemlockFest Virtual Festival 2020

Chestnut Enthusiasts!

Check out this video “thank you” to Lumpkin Coalition and Hemlockfest music festival for their past support of GA-TACF’s American chestnut restoration program. It features long-time TACF supporter and master keyboardist Chuck Leavell, as well as a brief background on the work TACF is doing. HemlockFest is normally a three day camping, music, arts and crafts, and outdoor activities fund raiser that takes place near Dahlonega the first weekend in November.  Nearly $50,000 in festival proceeds have come to GA-TACF over the past four years!  See hemlockfest.org/blog/ to learn more about this year’s Nov. 7 virtual event – please “attend” if you can.  A shorter version of this video (without the “sciency” stuff in the middle) will play during the event itself. Among many other great musical acts, the Indigo Girls will be playing!

Great fun at yesterday's Chestnutoberfest! Met a lot of new people, ate of lot of roasted chestnuts and chestnut blondies, drank a bit of chestnut ale, and listened to some great Appalachian mountain music from Russell Cook and Friends! If we missed you, please come out to one of our future events. Among other things, we will be having some seedling and seed distribution events later this fall and early next year.
If any attendee has some more photos to share, please send them to us. We were quite busy and didn't get many pics!
