The sun is still summer-warm, but the season is fading fast, so make the most of your next-tol-last August weekend, and get outside and enjoy our little state.

You can get a jumpstart tonight, with Providence Green Drinks. This casual group will gather at City Farm, offering a chance to meet some of your eco-neighbors and enjoy a tour of this amazing place. On Saturday morning, you can try out up to 50 varieties of local tomatoes at Casey Farm's Coastal Growers Market in North Kingstown, during Tomato Tasting Day, from 9 to noon. Check NNN's Community Calendar for more info.

Also tonight, URI's art exhibit, Beneath the Bay, wraps up at their downtown campus with an artist's reception from 5 to 9. This excellent exhibit features photographs, paintings, historical artifacts, and more, all exploring some facet of Narragansett Bay. Go to the Gallery Night site for more info.

You can also learn about another local culinary delight -- wild mushrooms -- at Audubon's Fisherville Brook Wildlife Refuge in Exeter, on Saturday morning. A special class from 10 to 1 will take you out searching and end with sample gourmet dishes featuring local fungi. Contact Audubon for more info at 949-5454.

Also coming up soon -- the Waste=Food film on Monday night in Pawtucket, the Bliss Greek dinner on Tuesday in Newport, and also the new Newport Energy Commission will meet that same night.
