More than 200 hundred fifth-graders from several Kanawha County elementary schools came to the capital city Friday for the annual Fall Children's Water Festival.
The event took place at the state Capitol and was sponsored by the state Department of Environmental Protection and emphasized hands on water education.
Some of the activities focused on identifying bugs and their importance, how flooding occurs, how pollution affects a watershed and the stages of the water cycle.
Fifth-graders from Belle, Bridgeview, Bridge, Alum Creek and Andrew Heights participated in the event.
