This Spring, Southampton Graduate Campus hosted its annual Earth Day Festival to a host of several hundred people. Events for children included arts and crafts, jewelry making, creating a bat box, face painting, boat rides, touch tanks, live animal shows, poster exhibits and skits. Representatives from various environmental groups and information about alternative energy were available along with an organic bake sale, nature walks, guest speakers, live music, films, and a hybrid car.
