National Night Out 2422 Style
This is really Gale Park, filled with people having normal, everyday fun on a hot, muggy evening. There were pony rides, a small petting zoo, chalk art, and other activities. The demonstration by the karate students was quite impressive. This was the largest event NOH has ever had for National Night Out. Kudos to all who pulled this together - and the weather gods.
The music faded and the crowd moved from the north end of the park to hear Lieutenant Fitzgerald (not shown). He pointed to the men and women officers and reminded us who they are and why they are here. He spoke of the animosity that is often directed toward the officers and the conflicts that can arise. "These men and women aren't here to protect their children - they're here to protect your children, these children, and all of you." He reminded us that our guns kill children. . . . .

This looks like it was a good event and an opportunity for everyone to get together. On the Hellhole there is a comment about a duck eating a flamin' hot Cheeto. I didn't watch the video but I have to laugh at the thought how ever wrong it was. I hope the duck is okay and the chef dude the Gordon gang was hanging out with with wasn't in the neighborhood looking for something for his restaurant.
