Plainfield's 31st National Night Out celebration set for Tuesday

Tuesday, August 1st, will mark Plainfield's 31st annual National Night Out. The city's observance begins at 6:30 PM at City Hall Plaza. There is also a neighborhood celebration coordinated by the Netherwood Heights Neighbors with a community BBQ at Leland Avenue Park.

Over the years, the celebration has grown from residents' turning on their porch lights for the evening to the large communitywide event at City Hall -- with food, music, recognition of civic organizations and programs and demonstrations by publis safety personnel.

Here are some photos from last year's celebration --


The Police Cadet program is recognized.


The Recreation tent is always mobbed.

A little help with my glow bracelet, please?

See you Tuesday!
