There are so many wonderful and exciting events to participate in during our annual Spring Ho celebration.  But if all the celebrating has you frazzled, and you feel the need to just "chill", come to the Hanna Springs Sculpture Garden at Campbell Park.

You can experience the sculptures and relax in the shade, pack a picnic, visit one of the springs that got the town started, and then take a deep breath and go back to all the excitement.
