Stay
In Control
on Memorial Day
As we look forward to an extended holiday weekend, our area merchants encourage you to celebrate
responsibly – for your own safety and the safety of our entire community. According to National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) statistics, Memorial Day weekend ranks second
only to New Years in percentage of alcohol-related traffic deaths. Whether you’re driving a car or a
boat, it’s important to remember that alcohol impairs your judgement and slows reaction time. You
can help prevent drunk driving tragedies this holiday weekend and year-round by staying sober
behind the wheel and keeping friends from drinking and driving.
