National Night Out a BIG Success!





What a beautiful evening we had for block parties, August 4!!

There were about 12 official block parties in our district, many at apartment complexes, and maybe many more that were "unofficial". We hope that everyone had a chance to get out and meet their neighbors, talk about anything and everything, and share some good food and good times.

At the community-wide event sponsored by Faith Alliance Church and the Conway/McKnight area block club, there were about 200 people, good food and good music. Chief Harrington and County Attorney Susan Gaertner talked it up with neighborhood kids, Culver's handed out free frozen custard and coupons (Pastor Andy seems to appreciate our local Culvers!!), the fire department gave tours of an engine, and kids were busy with the jumper room.

Thanks to everyone who worked to put this together. It's not too early for everyone to think about next year's celebration of neighborhood and community!! Give us a call - 651.702.6770.
