In lieu of their usual Earth Day Extravaganza, on May 2nd Starting at 1pm, Nankin Mills Interpretive Center is hosting their first annual Eco Fair.

Live animals, crafts, games, and inflatables will help deliver the fun as well as lessons you can take home! You’ll be green with envy if you miss this one!
