GRAFTON - Piasa Winery and Pub knows a good thing when it pops up - such as mushrooms.

The seventh annual Piasa Winery Mushroom Festival brings many gourmet mushroom-seeking visitors to the tourist town every year. The festival is from 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday, April 25, at Piasa Winery and Pub at 225 W. Main St.

Music starts at noon for the Mushroom Festival with Tim Buck Two and Resonation Station. When the festival officially starts at 1 p.m., regional chefs will prepare mushroom dishes containing all kinds of mushroom varieties for the Mushroom Cook-Off. Visitors get to taste the chefs' best mushroom dishes and have a glass of wine in the tasting tent for $10. Visitors vote for the chef of their choice in determining the winner of the Cook-Off. There also will be a Biggest and Smallest Mushroom Contest and vendors.
