California Nut Festival - 04/21/12

Bring your own nutcracker!
California Nut Festival
Chico, CA

Nuts carry extraordinary health benefits: eating 50 grams of nuts a day may reduce the risk of diabetes and heart disease.  50 grams of chocolate-covered salted caramel peanut clusters?  Not so much.

Wrap your mouth around all the nuts you can handle at this Chico festival being held at the gorgeous Patrick Ranch Museum.  The main event includes food and beverage tastings from bakeries, caterers and wineries and the opportunity to meet (and thank!) local farmers and retailers. Enjoy local bands on two stages while perusing the art show or learning more about the cultivation and appreciation of these protein-packed goodies.

By the way, arachibutyrophobia is the fear of getting peanut butter stick to the roof of your mouth.  And to think I get chastised for my fear of spiders...
