WBC hosting Eco Fair this Thursday

 

Maybe for Kermit it “isn’t easy being green.”

But that’s not the case for those who attend the annual Eco Fair at Williams Baptist College this Thursday, March 14, from 5:30 to 7 p.m.

This year’s theme is “Conserving Arkansas’ Agricultural Heritage.”

Dr. Melissa Hobbs, assistant professor of biology at WBC, says the fair’s purpose is to “publicize ecologically-focused businesses and organizations…while encouraging eco-friendly daily habits that promote Christian environmental stewardship.”
