| National Night Out was attended by an estimated crowd of 5000 of your neighbors this year at Stafford Marketplace. Many other neighborhood events with the County Sheriff’s Office took place all over the County August 6th. Many local businesses joined us this night at Stafford Marketplace. Fire and Rescue apparatus, the Sheriff’s command center, and many officers are on and get a look at the equipment and vehicles law enforcement has at their disposal in Stafford County. The Corvette club, a local equestrian group, Stafford Hospital, Target and Best Buy are staples at the Event. The LifEvac medical helicopter put down in the parking lot for an appearance. Stafford County Fire and Rescue personnel did a vehicle extrication. Music was by a local radio station. In total over 70 area businesses and organizations participated
Over 400 children were fitted with free bike helmets by the Aquia Harbour Rescue Squad volunteers in two and a half hours. The helmets were such a big hit we ran out 30 minutes before the event ended. The Rescue Squad also had tables with safety information, pamphlets and flyers. Free hotdogs, ribs, ice cream, drinks, and much, much more were available to the public. Most importantly it was a night of fun. |
