Register Your Festivities For The 32nd Annual National Night Out Soon

National Night Out is something our neighborhood looks forward to every summer thanks to the Winklesky family!  They host a HUGE picnic complete with kids games and prizes!!  They provide the BBQ and everyone in the neighborhood brings a dish to share.  It's a great time to connect with people you may only wave to every other day of the year!  If you are planning an event, the City of Duluth would like you to register it with them.

This year, National Night Out will be on Tuesday, August 4th, 2015.  It doesn't just happen in neighborhoods throughout Duluth, but communities nationwide.  The full name of the national event is the 32nd Annual National Night Out (NNO) Crime and Drug Prevention Event, that is why it is co-sponsored locally by the Duluth Police Department.  The event shows that neighborhoods have camaraderie and are fighting back against crime.  It also gives our local law enforcement and fire fighters Statics last year showed 16,124 communities celebrated the event and there were more than 52 block parties in our area.
