CHERRY VALLEY (WIFR) -- The Cherry Valley Police/Fire Departments invite you to “National Night Out” activities at Baumann Park on Aug. 3 from 6:00-9:00 p.m. There will be police and fire representatives to speak with, a raffle, bicycle safety checks/instruction and games for kids. So lock your doors, turn on your outside lights and join your neighbors for an evening of community-wide support towards a safer nation.

The National Association of Town Watch (NATW) has announced that the “27th Annual National Night Out (NNO)” program will culminate on Tuesday, Aug. 3.

NNO 2009 involved over 36 million people in 14,625 communities from all 50 states, U.S. territories, Canadian cities and military bases worldwide. National Night Out 2010 is expected to be the largest ever. Once again this year, Target is a national corporate sponsor.

National Night Out, a year-long community building campaign, is designed to: (1) Heighten crime prevention awareness; (2) Generate support for, and participation in, local anti-crime programs; (3) Strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships; and (4) Send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.
