Working with Kelly is a good move

It's great to see Montgomery County promoting such an important cause—addressing underage drinking and encouraging alcohol-free celebrations! I would love to read the winning essays for each category. It's essential for people of all ages to understand that you don't need to drink in order to have fun.
