Chestnuts Australia Inc. had a huge presence ‘La Fiera’ held at Myrtleford Sunday 24^th May.  We had our fabulous fresh product, as well as roasted chestnuts for sampling and buying, in addition to processed products.  This was the inaugural running of the "La Fiera" Italian festival and was a huge success.  Well done Myrtleford and surrounds!

On Sunday 17^th May, the association had a stall at the Beechworth Harvest Celebration and had a most successful day.  Many people come to this event for their annual chestnut fix and this year was no exception!  The weather was kind to us and I would like to personally thank fellow members Luciano Chester, Graham and John Ahrens, Joy and Andrew Hall, Scott Robinson, David and Helen McIntyre, Michael Brain, Mike Novak  and Chris Hicks who worked on the stall and helped make it a great day.

Rustic Charm @ Wild Cattle Creek in Wandin North, one of the leading restaurants in the Yarra Valley, held a Chestnut themed dinner on Friday night 29^th May.  It was a huge success, thanks to all who attended!

The date for our next AGM/ALPM has been selected for Sat/Sun November 21st & 22nd, 2009.
