The Plymouth Police and Fire departments will hold a free open house 2:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 6, in the parking lot at the Plymouth Creek Center. 

A kickoff to the annual Night to Unite celebration, the open house will feature a variety of entertainment for children, including two bouncy moon walks and games with prizes. Visitors will have the opportunity to meet a K-9 unit and tour a squad car, North Memorial Aircare helicopter, ambulance, water-rescue craft and SWAT vehicle. Emergency service professionals will be present to answer questions and discuss their roles in the community. 

Tentatively scheduled, the helicopter will arrive at 2:30 or 3 p.m., a SWAT demonstration will be held at 3 p.m., a K-9 unit demonstration will be held at 4 p.m. and a second SWAT demonstration will be held at 4:30 p.m. 

Local restaurants will offer complimentary food samples, games and coupons. 

“We designed the open house to be a fun learning experience for all ages and we appreciate our local businesses that have helped make this a free event for the public,” said Plymouth Police Chief Mike Goldstein.

Visitors are encouraged to bring a back-to-school supply or nonperishable food item to be donated to Interfaith Outreach and PRISM.
