HURON – From musical entertainment to free hot dogs for the kids, there’s something for everyone as the Huron community comes together once again for its version of “National Night Out.”
It’s set for 5 to 8 p.m. Tuesday at Campbell Park, coinciding with similar events held around the United States involving citizens, law enforcement agencies, civic groups, businesses and local officials.
“National Night Out is designed to enhance the crime prevention programs that are out there and enlighten the public about what resources are available for them in town,” said Police Capt. Mark Johnson.
Now in its eighth year in Huron, the evening will feature food, informational booths, contests, demonstrations and youth activities.
Police service dog handler Dennis Maude will conduct a demonstration with service dog Poli at 5:30 p.m.
Huron Orchestra Strings directed by Beth Neitzert will perform at 6 p.m. and the duet of Karlie Bigelow and Jonathan Blom will entertain at 7 p.m.
In between, at 6:30 p.m., will be a donut eating contest, with prizes for first, second and third place finishers.
For the first 200 kids in the park, hot dogs will be distributed for free as a fund raiser for the First Presbyterian Church. Sponsors of the hot dogs will be Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 3A and NorthWestern Energy.
