The community is invited to gather in the Gardens of Matter Park for National Night Out (NNO) 2023!
This year’s features will include a DJ, free hot dogs served by MFD, kid-friendly activities such as Wonderspace, a bounce house, basketball “HORSE” games with first responders, Tug of War, and “Scavenger Hunt Bingo” between responders and citizens for a BIG PRIZE! (Want to donate toward the prize? Contact us below!)
The big tent in the Gardens will house an array of interactive booths hosted by numerous agencies — all with the shared intention to build safe and welcoming neighborhoods in our community.
Mayor Jess Alumbaugh will do a special proclamation on the main stage outside. Community leader Steve Wright will emcee the event.
The Garden House will serve as a cooling station with restrooms, and will also host special presentations inside.
Throughout the Gardens, there will be special areas of features and demonstrations including a Police K9 Demo, Touch-a-Truck, Hands of Hope’s Clothesline Project, and much more.
