Purple chairs sit empty as families raise awareness

A local family advocates to bring awareness to the drug addiction issues and overdose deaths.

As visitors and residents of Forsyth drove past the Forsyth City Hall this week they may have noticed a banner and an empty purple chair out front. Shannon and David Taul lost their son, Alex Woods, in October of 2020 to a fentanyl overdose.

The board unanimously agreed to allow the Tauls to put up the display for drug awareness.
