com) for a multi-faceted guided tour. In honor of the Yachats Mushroom Festival Oct. 21-23 (yachats.org/MFest2011.html), Author
and Chef Michelle Korgan Bursey will present a “Tips for Cooking with Mushrooms” demonstration and talk, and prepare a sevencourse lunch for participants in the Heceta Head Bed & Breakfast kitchen. The excursion shuttle will then head to Ocean Beaches
Glassblowing & Gallery (blownhotglass.com) to see Artist Bob Meyer create some of his award-winning glass art creations, including
newly-iconic glass floats and wall art.
Yachats Mushroom Festival immediately follows OPUDA Conference Friday!
If you like mushrooms, this is the event for you--from truffle hunting, speakers, authors, books on mushrooms, and slide shows, to
special restaurant menus, mushroom photography, workshops, exhibits, and mushroom walks. And the Adobe Resort has agreed to
extend special OPUDA rates through the weekend! Check out the fun at yachats.org/MFest2011.html
