Prom Night Reminder:
We know it’s an exciting night, but please remember — the local police are already keeping a close eye on traffic tonight, especially after reports of some spirited driving after parties.
Drive safely, follow the speed limit, and if you’ve been drinking, don’t even look at your car keys. That’s not the way you want to kick off life after high school — with a DUI.
Celebrate smart, drive safe, and make it a night worth remembering for the right reasons.
