Tuesday August 7th is National Night Out
Have you begun the planning stages of your National Night Out Event?
This year is the 24th Annual National Night Out on Tuesday August 7th.
For those who may not know, the first Tuesday of August has been proclaimed National Night Out all across America. The event was started 24 years ago as a way to get people to come out of their homes, meet the neighbors and to learn ways to help keep their families safe from crime.
It has turned into a national holiday where the politicians, police, fire and rescue departments will stop by and hand out information to help saves lives and fight crime.
It can be a huge street party with games, food, fun and excitement for all. In my city of Lakeville MN, last year 75 separate neighborhoods held events to share in the fun.
As a DJ I will be the entertainment and coordinator for the NNO in my neighborhood providing music, entertainment and games to hand out prizes.
If you’re not already on the NNO list, speak with your local Police Department to receive information about putting on the event and forming a committee to create a fun time for all.
Most neighborhoods do not have money to spend on a DJ, but it is a great way to volunteer and get your business name out to your community. Take a picture of the event and have it publicized in your local newspaper.
Now is the time to begin planning your National Night Out Event!
