National Night Out Events Photos

There were National Night Out Events (NNO) all over eastern Baltimore County and all over the county, state and country on Tuesday as NNO is a night where communities come together to stand up to crime. Some of the events were held in the rain as a storm pasted though the region Tuesday night. Here are some photos from Councilman David Marks (R-5) and Councilwoman Cathy Bevins (D-6) social media pages.

” Tonight was National Night Out, and I was fortunate to attend five of the six events in the Fifth District. Many thanks to the volunteers in Dunfield, Seven Courts, Perring Park, Campus Hills and Magnolia Acres who welcomed me and work with our police to keep their neighborhoods safe,” Mark said in his visits around the area.

Bevins also attended many NNOs in her district, including the inaugural event for Overlea Community Association.

” Another successful National Night Out across the 6th district! I was able to attend four awesome communities that work tirelessly with law enforcement and COP volunteers,” Bevins said.
