A lantern vigil by more than 100 late Wednesday saluted National Overdose Awareness Day and served as a reminder that the fight to take back the streets of Tamaqua is moving forward.

Snyder led the group in prayer, urging everyone to "get behind people in your community who are in recovery and in honor of those we lost. Let this moment bring hope into our hearts."
