The event will begin at 6 p.m. with a short welcome and some information about police and crime in Woodridge. Then, the fun kicks off, with attendees getting a chance enjoy the following activities:

• Cornhole games
• Airbrush face painting
• Water balloon toss

Kids can express their creative sides at a coloring table and enjoy squad car demonstrations. A bike parade will also be held at Woodridge Night Out, so children should decorate their bikes before the event if they want to take part in the parade.

“This is a great opportunity for us to develop a sense of community among residents and meet new friends," Woodridge Police Chief Brian Cunningham told Patch.
