November 17, 2007, in conjunction with the Chestnut Research Team at Michigan State University we participate at "Autumnfest" held in the new Pavilion on Michigan State University's Campus. The event features a brunch and is held prior to the MSU vs. Penn State football game. The purpose of Autumnfest is to highlight the agricultural products of Michigan. We get to put the spotlight on chestnuts and the crowd of several thousand always looks forward to enjoying our roasted chestnuts.

The city of East Lansing hosts "Winter Bowl" at noon on December 2, 2007 (in past years this was called "Winterfest"). This event has Santa, real reindeer, and a chili cook-off. We participate in this event and always sell hundreds of bags of roasted chestnuts as the Holiday crowds enjoy the sights, sounds and flavors of Christmas. Additionally, if you visit the Henry Ford / Greenfield Village in Dearborn, MI during the month of December, you can sample our delicious roasted chestnuts from street vendors in the village dressed in period costume of the mid-nineteenth century. Back in that time, roasted chestnuts were commonly available in American cities from vendors in the streets, just as they are today in Europe and Asia. |
