Tickets at:
The forests of the Columbia River Gorge are bursting with hidden life, much of it under our feet. Beneath the moss and soil, vast fungal networks connect and sustain the ecosystems we depend on. Yet many of us were taught to fear or ignore mushrooms, seeing them only as dangerous or strange. In truth, fungi are neither plants nor animals but their own extraordinary kingdom, one that decomposes, heals, nourishes, and inspires. Join Krista Cushman for a journey into the world of fungi, from the mycelium threads weaving through our forests to the seasonal beauty of local mushrooms. Along the way, she will share her own path from curiosity to connection, explore the ecological roles of fungi, and reveal some of the Columbia Gorge’s most intriguing fungal treasures. You may leave seeing the forest and its hidden kingdom through entirely new eyes.

6th Street Station
An Evening with Strangers
6:30-7:30 p.m.6th Street Station, 2638 West 6th Street, The Dalles
We’re coming together to help people who live in the Columbia Gorge get to know each other! This is an event for all ages and demographics. We’ll start off with a welcome drink that’s included in the cost of entry, and then a quick introduction to the evening. Once that’s out of the way you’ll be able to mingle and meet new people! There’s plenty of seating and each table will have a conversation topic, (but don’t think you’re limited to that) you’re more than welcome to talk about anything and everything! We’ll try to have everyone move tables often enough that everyone sits at each (think speed dating but for friends!). About halfway through we’ll replace the “conversation topics” cards with various hobbies so you’ll have a chance to mingle with people who have similar interests as you before ending the evening. 6th st Station’s karaoke night will start at 8:00pm, so if you’re having a good time you’ll be able to keep the party going with your new friends!
