11,000 people die each year in
America in DUI-related traffi c

all traffi c deaths. An additional

related accidents.
A drunk driver kills someone
approximately every 48

Studies show that even small
amounts of alcohol can impair a
person’s ability to drive. Even at
a blood alcohol concentration
(BAC) of .02% – as little as one
drink – a person’s abilities to see
and multi-task are compromised.

and The Century Council.
Even Santa will be visiting to
welcome children of all ages.
Guests are encouraged to
take a night time walk to the
lighthouse, which provides an
