National Night Out To Feature 76ers Legend, K-9 Demo, Games, More

WYNNEWOOD, PA — From 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 6, the Wynnewood Shopping Center will play host to the 36th Annual National Night Out event.

National Night Out is a joint venture with the National Association of Town Watch (NATW) and the Lower Merion Community Watch.

The event will be held in the rear of the center.

Thousands of residents will enjoy live music, great new food, photo booth, rides, carnival games, roving entertainment, safety information, and many area nonprofits and businesses.

Lower Merion police, fire and Narberth Ambulance crews will also be at the event, with this year’s event featuring a Lower Merion Police K-9 demonstration.

Additionally, Lower Merion Police Superintendent Michael McGrath will be shooting against a 76ers legend in the NJM Insurance tent at the event.

Attendees also can win a Ring doorbell by taking a photo in the photo booth with a neighbor they don’t know.

Parking will be available throughout the Wynnewood Shopping Center.

National Night Out is the brainchild of Matt Peskin of Wynnewood who created the event for NATW back in 1984.

The event is designed to:

• heighten crime prevention awareness;
• generate support for, and participation in, local anti-crime programs;
• strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships;
• and send a message to criminals that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.

“NNO brings neighbors and first-responders together under positive circumstances,” Peskin said. “It’s a great night to promote police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie.”
