Last week, on Tuesday evening, the Woodville Police Department hosted a citywide “Woodville Night Out,” as its version of the nationwide “National Night Out” event at the Hyde Street City Park.
In spite of some winds and a little bit of a drizzle of rain, the crowds turned out in large numbers to see demonstrations from different agencies, such as the Jaws of Life vehicle extraction.
The idea behind the event is to allow the public the opportunity to meet first responders and see emergency vehicles on display and offers a wealth of other fun and informative offerings for the whole family.
Attendees also enjoyed a lot of good, free food and fellowship with fellow community members. The National Night Out concept, according to its website, is an annual community-building campaign that works to promote police and community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie, in order to create safer neighborhoods.
