Red Ribbon Week Fair at Joe Hamilton School

Joe Hamilton School, 1050 E St., will hold a Red Ribbon Week Fair to celebrate drug-free living on Saturday from 1 to 4 p.m.

The public is invited to the event, especially families with kids 6-13. The  theme is “Drug-free is the key.” There will be games, activities and prizes.

The event is being coordinated by Friday Night Live and the Del Norte County Public Health Department.

Red Ribbon Week is a national event celebrating being drug-free. It was created in 1988 in memory of federal narcotics agent Enriqué “Kiki” Camarena, who was killed in 1985 while attempting to uncover a narcotics pipeline from  Mexico, according to the DEA Red Ribbon Week Web site.

Participants wear red ribbons to pledge to be ‘drug-free’ and to remember Camarena.
