My neighbors the Tamworth Mushroom Co. on Gardner Hill Road are presenting a class on mushroom identification on June 30 with the very knowledgeable and highly regarded Dr. Rick Van De Poll. The cost is $50 for an introduction, field time and lunch. When I went on a mushroom walk a few years ago with Van de Poll, we located dozens of different fungi, and participants were able to bring home the edible ones for culinary use. For reservations, call (603) 323-0097.
Concerts By the River behind The Other Store are a beloved component of a Tamworth summer and will be held on Sundays from 3 to 5 p.m., starting with Mango Groove (steel drums) on June 30, followed by The Starlight Honeys on July 7; The Coughs (funk/jazz/blues) on July 14; The Sandwich Rangers on July 21; White Mountain Ceili Band (Irish instrumental) July 28); Aug. 11: Al Hospers Quartet. Note the different time: 2 to 4 p.m. and Young Musicians’ Showcase hosted by Thomas Stafford. Enjoy a shady location, river sounds and ice cream and beverages from the store. If you are able to sponsor a concert, contact Katy Thompson or Belle Stafford at The Other Store. Sponsorship of one concert costs $100.
