Join us at the Rosendale Recreation Center pavilion (1055 NY-32) for an evening of traditional Irish dance and music with folk band Tarlu providing live music. About Tarlu Tarlú is a traditional folk band whose home is the Hudson Valley. Clare Foy (guitar/vocals), John Clark (banjo/mandolin), and Oliver ten Broeke (uilleann pipes/whistles/flowerpot) met while playing in local sessions, and the three were quickly drawn towards collaboration. In the autumn season, Clare and Oliver will be performing at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival as two thirds of traditional music group Rogues' Daughters. Banjo/mandolin player John Clark can be found in the Hudson Valley year-round, hosting trad music sessions & plucking out tunes at rock-steady tempo for all to follow.

Join mycologist Luke Sarrantonio and go a little deeper, with a focus on Identification and Documentation of Fungi that we find on the land at the Snyder Estate in Rosendale. This program is open to all experience levels, and will cover the use of field guides, iNaturalist, and Internet Resources to ID and Document specimens for Education and Conservation. About Luke Luke Sarrantonio grew up in Rosendale, New York and spent much of his childhood exploring the local landscape and ecological features, but it wasn’t until attending university at SUNY ESF (College of Environmental Science and Forestry) that he truly discovered Fungi. He has had a dynamic career within Mycology, developing ecology and cultivation-based educational programs, organizing an annual mushroom and arts festival (For the Love of Fungi), community projects, and a line of functional mushroom products (under the name Mycophilic) for the past 13 years. His major goal is to be an accessible resource for people who want to learn more about this fascinating group of life. His most recent projects include an outdoor mushroom farm and teaching space with his partner Kaya, at their farm in Accord, NY (Eat Flowers Farm), and a community project called Eat More Mushrooms. He also offers mentorships and currently serves as co-president of the Mid Hudson Mycological Association. More at Mycophilic.net
