Montgomery County will host National Night Out from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. July 28 at Milligan Park. The event will stretch from the North Shelter to the South Shelter.
National Night Out is a free event. It is designed to heighten crime and drug prevention awareness, strengthen community spirit and police-community partnerships, and bring people together to enjoy a night out engaging in enjoyable and healthy activities.
At this year’s event, there will be free hotdog meals, free popcorn, exotic animals from Silly Safari, fire trucks, police vehicles, a DJ, free bounce house and bounce house obstacle course, caricaturists, a foam party, door prizes, games and activities, giveaways, and much more. Everyone is welcome. Organizers for the event ask that every child is accompanied by an adult.
Many community agencies and businesses will be in attendance offering fun activities and giveaways for the children. It is still possible for a business, agency, or organization to participate in the event. Contact Jane Christophersen at jane@mcysb.org to get details. It is also a chance for everyone to learn about the services that are available in Montgomery County.
National Night Out is brought to the community through the cooperation of many agencies and companies, including Firefly Children & Family Alliance, the Crawfordsville Fire Department and Police Department, the Montgomery County Sheriff Department, Valero Renewable Fuels, Drug Free Montgomery County Coalition, the Crawfordsville Parks and Recreation Department and the Montgomery County Youth Service Bureau.
