Fake Patty's Day 2013

Tomorrow is the hallowed Fake Patty's Day celebration here in Manhattan, KS!  While a boon to many bars in the Aggieville area, it's also an event that requires additional police presence and EMT workers.  Part of the effort to keep Fake Patty's attendees safe is making a medical pavilion in the City Park just South of Aggieville. 

If you intend to participate in Fake Patty's festivities and you want to stay out of both the medical pavilion and the custody of RCPD, here's a short list of dos and don'ts:

1. Don't take an open container out in public.  This includes the sidewalk right outside your (or your friends) house.  All sidewalks are public property.  So are alleyways.

2.  If you're a minor, don't take an open container (or closed container) of alcohol ANYWHERE.  That's Minor in Possession (MIP).

3. Drink some water. Eat some food.  Personally, I recommend Hunam Express or Aggie Station.

4. Don't take shots.  (Seriously don't, though Jell-O shots hardly count, still watch their number)

5. Have a designated driver.  Getting a DUI is costly and can change your life.  On Fake Patty's 2013, Safe Ride will also be running during extended hours starting at Noon (12:00 p.m.) on Saturday and running until 3:00 a.m. on Sunday morning. 

6. Finally, a bit of advice that is applicable always, if you must break the law, don't break two laws at once.  If you want to know why, you'll have to pay me a visit.
