Gossett to attend National Night Out Aug. 4 at McCollumPark
Councilmember Dave Gossett will be joining his neighbors to learn more about the latest in crime prevention during this year's National Night Out Against Crime event, being held Tuesday, August 4, at McCollum Park.
"National Night Out is a great opportunity for people to come together and have fun while promoting public safety," said Councilmember Gossett. "It's a chance to send a very clear message that neighborhood block watch and community groups are working hand in hand with the Sheriff's Office and local Police Departments to reduce crime in our county."
This year's event features the Snohomish county Fire Marshal's new dog "Topper," who will demonstrate his fire investigation skills. Music on the main stage will be provided by The Resonaters. Children can also meet the Always Ready "Ready Rex" and Community Transit's "Oxygene."
"This is an excellent opportunity to get to know your neighbors and discuss the quality of life issues that affect your neighborhoods, such as crime, drugs, graffiti, and other issues", said Gossett. "I encourage everyone to take advantage of this opportunity."
The event hosted at McCollum Park is made possible through partnerships with the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office, Mill Creek Police Department, Farmer's Insurance, SnoCope Federal Credit Union, Mill Creek Lion's Club and others.
