It seems it was almost impossible to get out! <br /><br />I have never been to the festival, so I am really looking forward to it. <br /><br />I actually thought about ordering a couple of chinquapin trees and planting them at my home so that I will have a supply in the future. I know that they are hard to find these days and I have been unable to find anyone that even knows where any are growing... or maybe they are keeping their own secret stash...Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09682464748142064146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3618206471505981977.post-825889196608826042011-09-02T22:20:40.165-04:002011-09-02T22:20:40.165-04:00We always called them "chinkypins" and I...We always called them "chinkypins" and I LOVED them. Although I didn't much like the spines in my palms...<br /><br />I live and Williamsburg now, and haven't seen any here. I miss my mountains!<br /><br />I didn't realize there was a festival in Meadows of Dan. It really makes me wish I were going to B'burg this weekend. Oh well.Rachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09317328366288947798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3618206471505981977.post-25277797127385462052011-09-02T12:26:22.901-04:002011-09-02T12:26:22.901-04:00Dave, if you can find a chinquapin, you gotta try ...Dave, if you can find a chinquapin, you gotta try it!

I need to get out more.

The state came through and cut the banks way down and the fences and trees are gone now. Chinquapins are getting hard to find these days. Looking forward to seeing you at the festival. I'll be working at Sue's shop.Leslie Shelorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04628795421403196341noreply@blogger.com
