As twilight falls on Friday night, the courthouse will be illuminated in a soft purple glow for the entire weekend, symbolizing remembrance and the ongoing fight against addiction. Surrounding the historic building, you’ll find a heartfelt display of photographs, each one representing a beloved individual who has tragically succumbed to an overdose. These images will serve as a powerful tribute to their lives and a visual reminder of the personal stories behind the statistics.
