UPDATE: Highspire Borough and the Highspire Borough Police Department, are excited to announce this year’s National Night Out celebration. NNO is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie. This year’s NNO is set for Tuesday, October 6th, 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there will be some necessary changes to this year’s National Night Out. There will be no block parties or large public gatherings. However, residents can still participate by decorating their front yards, displaying anti-crime signs and posters, having a family-style picnic and turning their porch light on or replacing it with a blue light bulb. This year, instead of judging city blocks and yards, officers will be driving through neighborhoods to greet residents as they come out on their front porches and front lawns. They will also be judging the face mask decorating contest. Awards will be given to the most creative designs. Costumed characters McGruff the crime prevention dog and Daren the D.A.R.E. lion will be out as well, making their rounds and greeting residents. There will also be a food drive to support the local food bank, which has faced a spike in requests for assistance since the pandemic began.
