On August 7th, Bellmawr participated in the National Night Out program.
http://www.nationalnightout.org/nno/
The progam is geared toward raising awareness of making our communities safer.
From the official site,NATIONAL NIGHT OUT is designed to:
- Heighten crime and drug prevention awareness;
- Generate support for, and participation in, local anticrime programs;
- Strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships; and
- Send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.
I arrived late for Bellmawr's event, but was there enough time for to take some pictures as the evening was winding down. The entire time I was there, a large group of young entertainers performed song after song... all perfectly choreographed to the music. A small train was on hand to give rides to the kids. There were also clowns giving out balloons. Mr Softee was there, as well as hot dogs and refreshments.
Truthfully, since I only saw the end of the night, I don't know all that went on. If you have more information on this fun night, please post in the comments!
