Iowa State Police and Ames police are taking action to make sure those attending the Veishea festivities know when to quit, and to help reduce the number of intoxicated-related incidents. Last year, Ames and ISU police responded to 534 incidents, at the Veishea festivities. 62 arrests were made and 46 citation issued. Its the single biggest event they staff during the year.
To help reduce the incidents, free T-shirts will be given away as part of their program to education people on how to behave during the Veishea festivities. The T-shirts will use their mascot "Frank the Flamingo" who they have used in past years. In addition to the local students who attend, it also draws hundreds of students form other schools.

It seems there will be a lot of people there, and lots of police. Enjoy yourself, but moderate your self.
