For the ninth year, National Night Out will return Aug. 7 to Foss Park for an evening to heighten awareness of crime and drug-abuse prevention. Starting at 5 p.m., law enforcement, civic, and neighborhood groups will come together for a night of music, educational programming, and performances. The event, sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch, is one of 15,000 sponsored in all 50 states to fight the effects of crime and drug use on America's communities.
