Downriver law enforcement, elected officials and MADD addressed the audience about the dangers and consequences of boating or driving under the influence, followed by a life jacket demonstration. To add to the day’s excitement, one hundred new life jackets were given away to the first 100 people who arrived at the marina and signed a “By Land or Sea Drive Alcohol Free” pledge. Slurpee coupons were also distributed to safe boaters for proper life jacket use and safe drivers for proper seat belt use. |
