Although it is a bit wet and windy, the NHLT Mushroom Walk is a go for this morning at the Town's Jones Mountain Open Space Preserve on Steele Road (unless torrential rains and/or lightning is occurring). If you would like to join a group of hearty fungi folk to learn about mushrooms from mycologist Marlene Snecinski, please e-mail us or call 860-480-4844 as soon as possible. We have several spots open.

Please wear water-resistant boots and rain gear. Marlene suggests bringing a walking stick and leaving your electronic devices that may be sensitive to moisture in the car! If the weather turns very bad when on site, we may adjourn for a cup of hot tea nearby and learn about mushrooms indoors!

This year's Frolic will feature a few new farms in our showcase. Come and browse the photo displays and farm information! Anyone who attends the Frolic is automatically entered in the drawing for door prizes. You could win maple syrup from Weingart's Farm Stand, West Hill Sugar House, vegetables from Grinvalsky Farm Stand or Bristol's Farm, eggs from the Eureka Grange, apples from Hayward Farm, a gift certificate from Jerram Winery or CT Valley Winery, a jar of something from Renaissance Farm, a pumpkin from Gresczyk's, something from Holiday Farm, Maple Hollow Tree Farm, Burdick Road Orchard, Barden Farm and more!
