Stay safe this holiday weekend

I can't believe it's September already- which means Labor Day long weekend is just ahead of us! We're planning a trip to the fair which is always a fun experience for us city folk.

If you're going to be attending a party or BBQ, remember to not drink and drive and be sure to have a designated driver. In 2008, just over the Labor Day holiday weekend, 194 people were killed in crashes involving an impaired driver? And remember that buzzed driving is drunk driving!  If you're throwing a party, here are some useful tools to keep people safe.

• Recipes for non-alcoholic drinks
• A nationwide list of alternative ride programs
• Buzzed Driving is Drunk Driving website

Stay safe and have a Happy Labor Day!
