Despite the rain on Saturday, the third annual Earth Day had good participation in Sulphur Springs. Erika Mayorga, host of the event and owner of The Plant Niche, moved Earth Day from its outdoor location on the square to Texas Hops and Chops at 211 Magnolia Street. Vendors included the Wood County Beekeepers Association, whose booth was filled with information for beekeeping beginners. Speakers also gave talks onstage about bees' environmental benefits. Jason Waldon and the Outsiders provided music for the event.
