“Hidden in Plain Sight” on display July 30

Looks can be deceiving. That is the message behind a unique traveling exhibit created by Intersect, Inc. in collaboration with LACE (Local Anti-Drug Coalition Effort). “Hidden in Plain Sight” is an interactive display designed to help parents of teens recognize unfamiliar hazards that are often in plain sight.

By walking through a makeshift child’s bedroom, parents learn to identify objects that could provide critical insights about risky behavior. Amidst the clutter of clothing scattered on the floor, school supplies on a desk and personal care products on a vanity are more than 100 items that can actually be signals that a young person could be involved in risky, harmful or even illegal activity. Participants will have an opportunity to interact with the items on display.

“Hidden in Plain Sight” will be on display at the Back to School Bash, located in downtown Huntington at 517 N. Jefferson Street on Saturday July 30, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Doors open for browsing at 11a.m. The exhibit is open to adults only. There is no charge for admittance. Members of the media are invited to cover this presentation.

“Hidden in Plain Sight” is a local educational resource made possible thanks to support from Intersect, Inc.; and LACE. For further information, contact Intersect, Inc. at (765) 683-0452.
