Known as "America's Night Out Against Crime," National Night Out is a nationwide event that aims to raise awareness about drug prevention and crime, promote participation in local anti-crime efforts, and strengthen relationships between police and the community.

The festivities will kick off on Monday at the Fry Family YMCA with a free community celebration. Starting at 6:30 p.m., attendees can enjoy games, giveaways, and activities for all ages. There will be a bounce house, magic act, and opportunities to interact with police personnel and equipment. Food trucks will also be on site for those looking to grab a bite to eat.

In case of rain, the movie will be shown indoors.
