SHELBY TOWNSHIP — The Oceana County Sheriff’s Office hosted the inaugural National Night Out Tuesday, Aug. 6, from 4-8 p.m. at Shelby Township Community Park on West Buchanan Road.
National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make neighborhoods safer.
Hundreds of people enjoyed talking to local emergency first responders and looking at their shiny vehicles. There were games and activities for all ages, such as a climbing wall, a dunk tank, corn hole and bounce houses. Free food and drinks were also available.
Participating agencies and organizations in the first-ever Oceana County event included: the Oceana County Sheriff’s Office, Hart Police Department, Shelby Police Department, Oceana County Emergency Management, Michigan State Police — Hart post, Hart Area Fire Department, Life EMS, Pentwater Fire Department, Grant Township Fire Department, Shelby-Benona Fire Department, Michigan DNR, Mason-Oceana 911, the Shelby High School football program, the Hart High School football program, and Grace Adventures.
“We couldn’t be more excited about hosting our first annual National Night Out event at the brand new Shelby Township Community Park,” said the Oceana County Undersheriff Ryan Schiller who organized the event.
