To assist in the awareness efforts of IOAD the Monroe County Prevention Coalition (PWC) is partnering with the City of Madisonville and the Downtown Madisonville Alliance in hosting the First Annual ‘Smash The Stigma’ Community Water Balloon Fight on Saturday, August 27th. The fight begins at 6 pm. Come early to grab a spot and BYOB (balloons, that is). Food trucks will be on-site set up in Memorial Park from 6-8 pm.

1) Come with your filled water balloons/water guns ready to go (NO other items will be permissible).

2) Line up along both sides of the Tellico Street

3) Ready, Aim, Launch (and expect to get wet)!

 First responders will drive along the route so be prepared for return fire! Coordinators hope the event will bring awareness to the stigma associated with substance misuse and aid in smashing that stigma. Join us for this family-friendly, substance-free, community uniting event, and have a great time.
