Antioch residents, once again, participated in the annual National Night Out on Tuesday, August 4 to promote safety in their neighborhoods.
An effort of the National Association of Town Watch, according to their website,
“National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer, better places to live.
National Night Out enhances the relationship between neighbors and law enforcement while bringing back a true sense of community and provides a great opportunity to bring police and neighbors together under positive circumstances.”
In addition to police officers, firefighters serving Antioch also showed up with one of their fire engines at the gathering on Tompkins Way, which was organized by neighborhood residents Stephanie Sterling, and Steve and Roxanne Huddleston. The event at the Huddleston’s home included a potluck dinner and gave about 70 residents who attended the chance to meet and get to know each other. That way they all will better know who belongs in their neighborhood and who doesn’t.
