Mason City, IA – On Tuesday, August 7th, neighborhoods throughout Mason City are being invited to join forces with thousands of communities nationwide for the “Annual National Night Out” crime and drug prevention event. National Night Out is sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch, and co-sponsored locally by the Community Policing Advisory Board, and the Mason City Police Department. It is supported in part by Target Stores and the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Awareness.
National Night Out in Mason City is an annual event on the first Tuesday of August,
that involves all segments of the community to build a healthier, safe community; generate support for anti-crime/ anti-drug programs and strengthen police/community relations.
From 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. on August 7th, residents in neighborhoods throughout Mason City are asked to encourage their neighbors to turn on porch lights and partake in a free fun-packed “family affair” at East Park by the Band Shell.
This event will offer a little something for everyone. In addition to complimentary hot dogs, chips, and pop, there will be drawings for prizes, face painting, ½ Pint the Clown, inflatable bouncers, and a Kid Power Pedal Tractor Pull. There will be demonstrations and displays from various community service organizations. Music will be provided by DJ Brian Carlson.
The Mason City Police Department and the Community Policing Advisory Board invite everyone in Mason City to join them in spending the evening outside “Giving Crime & Drugs a Going Away Party!”
