National Night Out to be Celebrated in Hanover Township

Set for tomorrow, Aug. 2, between 6 and 9pm, some 37 million Americans will take part in the 28th Annual National Night Out.

And, once again, will be making sure its community joins those 37 million Americans in taking a stand against crime and continuing the fight for stronger neighborhoods.

National Night Out is specifically designed to strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships, and to send a message to criminals that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back, according to nationalnightout.org.

To that end, Colonial Regional and other local officials will be taking over the Hanover Township (Northampton County) Community Center at 3660 Jacksonville Road.

The night will begin at 6 and will feature K9 demonstrations, child identification and fingerprinting, games, ice cream and a whole lot more.

According to Colonial Regional, another purpose of the event "is to get neighbors to become more familiar with one another," which, in turn, makes people more aware of suspicious individuals and circumstances.

If You Go:

• Where: Hanover Township Community Center, 3660 Jacksonville Road
• When: 6 to 9pm.
