Collingswood National Night Out: Tuesday at 6 p.m.

On Tuesday, Collingswood police, fire, and emergency services workers will treat the borough to a super-duper block party, complete with games, snacks and a chance to shake the hands of those men and women who keep the community safe.

From 6 to 9 p.m., National Night Out in Collingswood will feature carnival games, a chance to check out police cars and fire trucks, and even a swimming demo from Roberts Pool lifeguards.

Not enough? How about a speed pitch machine, mascots, water ice and hot dogs? Or free child IDs and tips on how to safeguard your banking information? It all happens on the corner of Haddon and West Collings Avenues.

National Night Out is a country-wide community program designed to help generate support for public safety and anti-crime efforts. Volunteers from throughout the borough are helping to host and staff the event, and sponsors include 1st Colonial Community Bank, Cabana Water Ice, Catelli Brothers and Circus Time.

Last year's event was a great success; for pictures, click here.
