Early visitors to the 2014 Earth Day celebration were few in number, due to the drizzle, but came later after the skies partially cleared and the Easter Egg hunt ended. Vendors were on hand to sell plants, as well as explain the meaning of the celebration. Activities were also available for children. And the highlight for many adults is the opportunity to get rid of and recyle old electronic devices that no longer work.
