Chestnuts

Yesterday Rich and I ventured out to Fete de la Chataingne, Fully to the annual Chestnut Festival. Although the weather turned into cold, windy rain; armed with winter coats and our trusty umbrellas we made our way through the Festival. Consisting of about 270 stands of goodies to purchase including food. "almost everything was made with chestnuts" 
Some of the sights included:

Although the view was beautiful, the day was very hazy

 

 

 

of course they had the candy/gummy booth

anyone for red garlic and onions?

let us not forget the chocolate....

...and Hot Cocoa

 Will and Terri "who told us about this festival" also introduced us to their favorite

 

food vender

also a favorite in the area

one of them even tried to get Terri to take his place for the day

And the day wouldn't be complete without chestnuts roasting over open fires

    One of the best parts of the day "aside from being with good friends"...on the drive home the rain was mixed with SNOW!!!!!
