Spend the 'Night Out' with RB

The annual night to meet your neighbors, eat good food and learn about crime prevention is now just days away.

National Night Out is happening Tuesday, and Rancho Bernardo is throwing a party or two to celebrate. RB Neighborhood Watch is hosting a community event at RB Community Park from 6 to 8 p.m. with free refreshments, games, contests, face painting and information items. Police will be available to chat and a fire engine from RB's Station No. 33 will be at the park for kids (and adults) to explore. 

McGruff the Crime Dog will be joining the party, too, and ready for photo ops.

Even if you can't join the big party at the park, National Night Out gives you the chance to meet people on your street and join block parties in your area.
