National Night Out celebration planned for White Township
The St. Louis County Sheriff’s Office and White Township are partnering to host a National Night Out party on Tuesday, August 6, at the Loon Lake Community Center, 3816 Highway 100, Aurora. A variety of activities for all ages are planned from 4:30 to 8 p.m. The event is free and all are welcome to attend from White Township and surrounding communities.
Overlapping with and kicking off the National Night Out festivities will be a health fair, from 3-5 p.m. Numerous vendors from around the area will provide information about products and services for healthy living.
The Sheriff's Office will have staff and squad cars at the event, plus a K-9 demonstration, a St. Louis County 911 dispatching center, and the Rescue Squad. The event also will include a Life Link III helicopter landing (exact time still to be determined), plus representatives and vehicles from multiple community fire departments.
Attendees can enjoy a free community barbecue with brats and hot dogs, as well as a cold desert. Food will be served from 4:30-6:30, or while supplies last. There will be drawings for prizes for both youth and adults, music by Casey Aro, magic by Amazing Charles, plus other child-friendly activities. Numerous community leaders will be available to talk and answer questions.
The National Night Out party is made possible thanks to generous support from Minnesota Power, along with contributions from the Coca-Cola company of Virginia. Super 8 of Eveleth, and Walmart in Mountain iron.
National Night Out is an annual celebration on the first Tuesday in August held by neighborhoods across the country that strives to promote community and strengthen relationships between citizens and their city’s public safety departments.
