STORE'S GRAND OPENING TO BENEFIT DARE PROGRAM
HERKIMER - Aubuchon Hardware will hold the grand opening of its new
Herkimer store on Thursday. The celebration will culminate in a
cookout on Saturday with all proceeds to benefit the Herkimer Police
Department's Drug Abuse Resistance Education program. In addition,
the Herkimer store will be donating supplies to DARE for its upcoming
tree-planting event at the Herkimer Elementary School.
According to Monitoring the Future, a yearly case study program
performed by the University of Michigan, drug use has declined among
young teenagers every year since 1999. In addition, the Substance
Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration showed a decrease in new
users since 2000. Prevention starts with education, and the DARE.
program is an effective tool.
Aubuchon's grand opening cookout will feature an array of food and
beverage items on sale for families while helping support DARE.
Representatives from Glidden Paint, the Humane Society, as well as
multiple feed distributors, will be on hand to answer any questions
concerning their products and services. Aubuchon's Busch North
Series racecar will be showcased and balloons and mugs will be offered
as free giveaways.
The Herkimer Aubuchon Hardware is located at 105 North Caroline St.
For more information concerning this event, contact Joan at 866-4931.
