Earth Gathering
Earth Gathering is a juried art festival with an Earth Day theme. This event was designed to entertain, educate and inspire the public about nature, creativity and sustainability through earth-friendly art, music, food, products and ideas. Each year, Ross County Litter Control & the RPHF SWD occupy a booth and host a river clean-up. Catch us at Earth gathering on April 15, 2023 at Yoctangee Park. (PDF Flyer)
