This Saturday, April 16, 2011, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. is the 2nd Annual Day Without Violence event sponsored by the Enid Domestic Violence Task Force.

It will be held in conjunction with the Smokin Red Dirt Barbecue and Music Festival in Downtown Enid, near the intersection of Independence and Maine streets. Our goal is to increase awareness of what constitutes domestic violence and what services are available for victims.

Legal Aid Services of Oklahoma will be there, along with about 20 other agencies, including the Garfield County Sheriff, Garfield County District Attorney, Enid YWCA, Enid Public Schools, Garfield County DHS, Okla. Dept of Corrections, Vance Air Force Base, and many others.

Agencies will have all kinds of fun activities for the whole family. We’ll have prizes, free sno-cones and inflatables. Stop by the Legal Aid area for information, trinkets and draw a picture on the topic "a Day Without Violence." Pictures will be displayed at the YWCA after the event!
