Resources will be available from 5:00-6:00 p.m., including Narcan, an effective medication used to reverse overdoses. At 6:00 p.m., the vigil begins with a dove release and speakers. Nationally known recording artist Skyler Ray & company take the stage (bring lawn chairs). A memorial video consisting of photographs submitted by family members of the hundreds of local lives lost will be shown & a candlelit procession will take place. Raffles and food trucks are also expected.
