. - cape stands for the council on addiction prevention and education of duchess county. - we're here 'cause our science class is coming and learning about how bad drug addiction is for us and how to help ourselves and how to help others. - the 8th to 9th grade transition year is one of the higher risk years and that's when a lot of high risk behaviors and decisions tend to happen. - and make them aware of the risks that are out there the risks of going into high school help them make good decisions, because there's going to be a lot of peer pressure towards the other way. - [katie] set up along the edge of the field were a number of exhibits manned by vendors. they weren't selling anything they were there to give out free information. (kids chattering) - so our particular hope today was to have vendors here that could spread information about the provider services that are available, but more importantly, to provide a fun venue that's healthy that focuses on their health and wellness with a bit of a focus on the substance use issue because it is so prominent in our county. - [katie]
