MOUNT VERNON — Local resident Barbara Skapa will conduct the annual “mushroom walk” for the Dr. Shaw Memorial Library Saturday, Aug. 19, from 10 a.m. to noon, starting at the library parking lot, 344 Pond Road.

Participants are urged to wear clothing suitable for hiking; bring a basket or bag, and a small knife for collecting mushrooms. The walk may be local or might involve a short car trip to reach another location. In the event that it is necessary to cancel due to weather, pre-registration is required by calling the library at 207-293-2565 or e-mailing drshaw@lib.me.us. There also will be an option to sign up in advance at the library before Aug. 12. The event is free, but donations are encouraged and may be contributed on the day of the event.
