The war on drugs has taken a real cease-fire in Amarillo. Crocheting?
On a warm summer night, three little girls sat in the park crocheting - and fighting crime.

The girls were attending "Give Crime and Drugs a Going Away Party," sponsored by Friends of San Jacinto on Tuesday night at San Jacinto Park.

The three girls crocheting long chains of white yarn at the FOSJ picnic learned the skill at America's Promise, an after-school enrichment program sponsored locally by FOSJ.

The community group - which has worked for years to rid San Jacinto of crime, trash and weeds - also oversees a community garden with about 25 plots and lobbies the city for neighborhood improvements, such as sidewalks.
You get 'em, little girls!
