We all live in a watershed, the area of land that drains to the same waterbody. Memphis has four watersheds. Three of them (the Loosahatchie River, Wolf River, and Nonconnah Creek) eventually drain to the fourth watershed, the Mississippi River Watershed. 31 of the 50 states in the USA and also 2 Canadian provinces have smaller watersheds that all drain to the mighty Mississippi River Watershed, making it the fourth largest watershed in the world! The Mississippi River Watershed itself eventually drains to the Gulf of Mexico, which becomes part of the Atlantic Ocean. Globally, we are all connected through our watersheds. And locally, we are all connected as well! Come and listen to the live music, visit the vendor tents (some of which include state groups, city groups, and other organizations) and let's better connect to improve our communities, City, and watersheds!
