Oshkosh National Night Out
[We have received the following information and are pleased to pass it along to our readers from the Oshkosh Police Department.]
The Oshkosh Police Department invites citizens to join them in the planning of the third annual Oshkosh National Night Out scheduled for Tuesday, August 4, 2009 at South Park . Oshkosh will join thousands of other communities around the country in hosting the event on the same night. The goal of National Night Out is to involve citizens in building a safer community by providing an opportunity to learn more about local fire and law enforcement; increase crime prevention awareness, and celebrate neighborhoods. The event is designed to be fun and to get people to come together in a safe, alcohol-free environment.
In 2007, nearly 300 people attended the event held at the Boys and Girls Club. South Park was the site of the 2008 event attended by nearly 700 people. In the past, this free event has included music, food, children’s activities and family games, door prizes, 3-on-3 basketball tournament, children’s fishing tournament, community resource fair, martial arts demonstrations, squad cars, fire trucks, armored vehicle, Community Blood Center Bloodmobile, child fingerprinting, Jail and Bail and more.
The first planning meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, April 28, 6:00-7:00pm in the Department’s Erickson Community Room. The Oshkosh Police Department wants citizens to help with the planning of this event and as volunteers and/or to sponsor an activity at the 2009 event. A video of last year’s event can be viewed at www.oshkoshpd.com. If you are willing to help with planning or want to be a sponsor, contact Dorry Wilner, Community Programs Coordinator at 236-5714 or dwilner@ci.oshkosh.wi.us.
