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!
