(Red Oak) – After taking a year off due to the pandemic, more than three-dozen Iowa communities will be taking part in the National Night Out this (Tuesday) evening. In Red Oak, Fountain Square Park is the site for a showcase of area law enforcement, fire and EMT agencies. Red Oak Police Chief Justin Rhamy told KJAN News it’s not just about Red Oak’s Police, Fire and EMS…they reached out to surrounding counties and jurisdictions and asked them to attend, just like many communities are doing across the country.

You may even have a chance to meet the people who protect the President.

While you’re at Fountain Square Park, you’re welcome to look at the various pieces of equipment, talk with Police, Fire and 1st responders, and pick up some free food.

Rhamy said you’ll find lots of information from medical professionals abut staying healthy and safe in the sun, on the farm, and more.

The Iowa DNR will talk about hunter safety and hunter education, as well. After a one-year absence due to COVID-19, National Night Out takes place from 6-to-8 p.m.  Find the community nearest to you that’s having National Night Out events at: www.natw.org. The list locally, includes: Bridgewater, Council Bluffs, and Stuart. This marks the 37th year of these events.
