The exhibit will be on display at The Parks at Arlington in Arlington, Texas, from Friday, November 3rd to Sunday, November 5th, to educate teens and their parents about a tragic consequence of underage drinking -- devastating motor vehicle crashes -- as well as the ongoing and critical need for victim support.
