AVALON – The Avalon Department of Recreation will host a “National Night Out” event on Tuesday, August 2 from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. The event will be held outside on the north side of the Avalon Community Hall at 30th Street and the beach in Avalon. The National Night Out event will focus on children and family and include many fun and educational activities.
“National Night Out is an excellent opportunity for police and others involved in the public safety sector to meet the public, hear about their concerns, and interact with people on a one on one basis”, said Avalon Police Chief David Dean. “We invite residents, property owners, and visitors to participate in a fun evening for all ages”.
Many Borough organizations will participate in National Night Out in Avalon, including the Avalon Police Department, Avalon Volunteer Fire Department, Avalon Rescue Squad, Avalon Department of Recreation, and the Avalon Free Public Library. The event will be immediately followed by a free Big Beach Movie on Avalon’s 30th Street beach at 8:30pm. The movie will be “Yogi Bear”.
The Avalon Police Department will conduct its popular free bicycle registration program on site at National Night Out. Adults and children are invited to bring their bicycles to the event and have the bikes registered with the police department in the event that the bike would be misplaced or stolen. The police department will also conduct a fun bicycle safety course for children and distribute special police stickers.
Avalon’s Volunteer Fire Department will stage live safety demonstrations. Firemen will initiate and extinguish live stove fires for safety demonstration purposes. Firefighters will also invite children to become junior firefighters by participating in a line training exercise where kids help firemen with a hose to put out a “fire”. And, the department will bring its snorkel truck so youngsters can sit in the truck and receive a toy fire hat.
The Avalon Rescue Squad will be presenting its new rescue vehicle to the public and answer any questions the public may have. Free blood pressure screenings are available upon request. The Avalon Department of Recreation hosts the National Night Out event and will have activities for the kids before the Big Beach Movie.
