The Coalition Teen Council is hosting a FREE Drive Safe Family Fair on Saturday, March 16th, from 10 am to 2 pm. The focus of the fair is to spread awareness about impaired driving and to give access to community resources. Students will be able to “drive” a Jeep simulator to see what it looks like to drive impaired. They will also play carnival games with a twist (one time without impaired goggles and one time with impaired goggles)
