Washington Twp., NJ - Hundreds of Washington Boro and Washington Township residents came together at Meadow Breeze Park to take part in this year’s National Night Out on August 7th. National Night Out is an annual nationwide event that takes place on the first Tuesday in August in communities across the country.
Some of the things residents from these two Warren County communities were treated to included apparatus and equipment on display from Washington Township and Boro, a K9 demonstration by the Township Police, and a firefighter’s obstacle course set up by the Washington Fire Department for kids to compete in. Some other activities for the kids included games to play, face painting and child ID kits. Local businesses had tents set up, and there were burgers and soda served.
The National Night Out program started in 1984 and the annual event is geared to help encourage police-community partnerships and a sense of overall community.
The National Night Out’s website describes the program in great detail. They say millions of neighbors take part in National Night Out across thousands of communities from all 50 states, U.S. territories and military bases worldwide on the first Tuesday in August. Neighborhoods host block parties, festivals, parades, cookouts and various other community events with safety demonstrations, seminars, youth events, visits from emergency personnel, exhibits and much, much more.
Some of the agencies, organizations and local businesses that participated in the Washington National Night Out were the Washington Twp. PD (Patrol 76), Washington Twp.
