Kitzmiller Float Promotes KickingTobacco.com

“KICKINGTOBACCO.COM- E-cigarettes, vapes and JUULs-keeping them out of the hands of our youth,” was the message the youth from Kitzmiller displayed on a float in the Kitzmiller Fireman’s parade last weekend. The float was sponsored by the Kitzmiller Empowerment Group. Pictured from left to right, front row, are Thelma Lacy, Nancy Brady, Nevaeh Gank, Leanna Hawk, Betty Anderson, Olivia Summerfield. In the back row are Lyla Guthrie, Maddie Hanlin, Maddie Berg, Maddie Wolfe, Emma Brady-Porter, Allie Alt, Brooklyn Bircher, Aubrey Summerfield, and Shellie Mallow. Seated in the little car with the “My Little Eyes Are Watching You-Be A Good Role Model” message are Avery Summerfield and Abel Brady-Porter. Activities of community planning groups are supported in part by funds from the Garrett County Health Department to promote healthy living and prevent risky behaviors. For more information about, or to volunteer with, the Kitzmiller Empowerment Group contact Heather Berg at the health department at 301-334-7730.
