Saturday March 26th: We all have seen our fair share of mushrooms in our yards, and in the forests in Thurston County. As with any mushrooms that we may find outside of a grocery store, there is always the question of whether or not the little things are toxic, or destined for dinner. Mushroom expert Tom Keller, will help clear up this dilemma once and for all with his class entitled, “Mushroom Hunting,” that will be taking place from 1:30PM to 2:30PM at the Yelm Timberland Library ( ) the class is completely free to attend, and is open to both adults and teens.
Saturday March 26th: Are you looking for some quality musical entertainment this weekend?
