It is National Chestnut Week!
While Chestnuts are Great for Eating! Horse Chestnuts are mildly poisonous.
Even though you can’t eat them Horse Chestnuts are great for a Fantastic Autumn Game…. Conkers!
It’s a game from my childhood (in Nova Scotia) that I remember very fondly.
In 2012 The people of Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia Canada started the
North American Conker Championships! (Held this year on October 19)
Check out their website for the rules…
