In advance of the 7th Annual Mermaid Capital of Texas Fest on Saturday, members brought the gift of books featuring the San Marcos River, mermaids and eco-guardianship to SMCISD elementary and Bonham Pre-K libraries. The official launch was held at Mendez Elementary with a symbolic ribbon-cutting and mermaid-themed parade.
