<description>Though Mother&#8217;s Day came in the midst of dreary weather and an even drearier economy, local business owners and event organizers said the holiday was still a success.

	Despite the rain, an outdoor Mother&#8217;s Day event hosted by Woldumar Nature Center and the Mid Michigan Photography Club drew 300 to 400 people.

	&#8220;We had a splendid turnout, I couldn&#8217;t believe how many people came,&#8221; said Lori McSweeny, executive director for Woldumar.

	The event, Wildflower Weekend, was held Saturday and Sunday at Woldumar Nature Center, 5739 Old Lansing Road in Lansing and featured an art show and pancake breakfast.</description>
