Of 13th Earth Festival

As Usual, Attendees Pack MCS Parking Lot

Eleanor Walker, left, and Reagan Scott of Cooperstown were hard at work at today’s 13th annual Earth Festival, sponsored by OCCA (Otsego County Conservation Associaton). The girls were doing the heavy-lifting of recyclables to be carted away for processing. As usual, the Milford Central parking lot was filled from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. with people curious about everything from animal skeletons to heirloom seeds. (Jim Kevlin/AllOTSEGO.com)
