The Kewanee Police Department will host a “National Night Out” on Tuesday, Aug. 1 from 5 pm to 9 pm. The event will be held at Northeast Park and offer a free swim from 6 to 8 pm, as well as free food, cotton candy, and Police and Fire department demonstrations.

National Night Out is an annual event held by participating police departments all over the country on the first Tuesday of August. The community event was created to enhance the relationship between neighbors and law enforcement, while bringing back a true sense of community. The annual community-building campaign is an opportunity to bring police and residents together under positive circumstances.
