Fabulous Fungi

Fredda Pennock of the Kennett Township Historical Commission was kind enough to alert me to their annual lecture, which will doubtless be of interest to many in our community.  It's called "Fabulous Fungi," and it's about mushroom farming in Kennett Township, past and present. Tina Ellor, technical director of Phillips Mushroom Farms, will be doing a PowerPoint presentation about the history of mushroom farming, and Chris Alonzo, third-generation farmer and president of Pietro Industries, will discuss current farming practices.
The program starts at 7 p.m. Thursday, May 15, at the Kennett Township Building, 801 Burrows Run Rd. You might want to get there a little early: Last year's fascinating program on old barns was standing room only.
