​10am-12noon – Earth Day Festivities – Learn and play with exhibits from the WVDEP with Youth Environmental Program and Division of Air Quality staff, including activities from the Project WET program. Exhibits and displays are designed to educate and entertain.
​12noon-4pm – Depot Beautification Project – As recipient of BB&T’s Lighthouse Project for 2018, Destination Downtown Oak Hill has chosen to direct the funding and volunteer hours toward beautification of the White Oak Rail Depot. Volunteers from BB&T will work alongside others to plant perennial plants around the depot that will be enjoyed for years to come. Sherwin-Williams staff will also be on hand touching up some of the painting that was done last summer at the Depot.
