National Night Out Hits Texas Neighborhoods

It’s that time.

Come out and celebrate with one of the many National Night Out events happening in Oak Cliff tonight. The night is a nation-wide event – although Texas gets the cooler, October option — targeted at bringing communities together to be against crime.

So take advantage of the cool weather and use this time to meet some neighbors, thank the hard working officers in the Southwest Division, and even voice concerns to the public officials in attendance. Or you can just enjoy the community with free food and activities.

Make the jump for a list of a few NNO events in North Oak Cliff. If you don’t see your event on here, email me at andrew.plock@peoplenewspapers.com.

I’ll be jumping to and from a few events, so if you see me, say hi. I’d love to meet some Oak Cliff People readers.
