Montgomery County will host National Night Out from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Tuesday 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, popcorn, exotic animals from Silly Safari, child ID kits, fire trucks, police vehicles, a DJ, bounce house and bounce house obstacle course, caricaturists, door prizes and more. 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. Please 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 and the Montgomery County Youth Service Bureau.
Questions about this event can be directed to either the Youth Service Bureau at 765-362-0694, ext. 104, or by email to jane@mcysb.org.
