Last year’s National Night Out drew a huge crowd to the area around Fishers City Hall and the Police Headquarters building, so this year the local event will take place at two parks, Holland and Brooks School. This year, the date is Tuesday, Aug. 7 and the time is 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
The 35th annual event is national in scope and asks citizens to focus on fighting crime and drug abuse prevention. National Night Out is sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch and co-sponsored by the Fishers Police Department.
Fishers residents are asked to lock their doors, turn on outside lights and spend the evening outside with neighbors and police. Local officers will have equipment displays, as well as children’s activities, including balloon artists and face painting. Hot dogs, cookies and bottled water will be provided. Kona Ice will be available for purchase.
