DESCRIPTION:September 7th\, 2022 7-8pm\n\nOnline – please email enviro@blackburnhamlet.ca to register. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe Blackburn Community Association’s Environment Committee is excited to announce a virtual education event on mushrooms!

From their humble beginnings on a small plot of land in Indiana to their 3\,000 sq. ft.\, state-of-the-art mushroom growing facility in Ontario\, the Kelly family is committed to sharing their love of the fungi kingdom with friends near and far.\n\nThis is a free event\, open to everyone and will be held on Zoom.
