The county commissioners declared August Overdose Awareness Month and green-lit an interactive installation for the observance. This is official acknowledgment that overdose is a crisis in Watauga County, not something to quarantine in whispers or statistics. The installation is a physical space where people can come say the names of people they lost. Go look at it. Bring flowers, bring a story, bring whoever needs to know they are not alone in this.
