Public, Police at National Night Out Saturday

Residents of Menifee are invited to National Night Out, an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make local neighborhoods safer, better places to live. The event will take place this Saturday, Aug. 6, at Wheatfield Park from 4-8 p.m.

This event will include free food, a live band, police and fire department displays and demonstrations, games for the kids and recruiting for the Sheriff's Department, Police Explorers and Community Volunteer organizations.

There are openings at the event for vendors to introduce themselves to the public and offer their wares for sale or to conduct giveaways. Vendor spaces will be 10 x 20 and the cost is $50. There will be no fee for vendors who are operating information-only booths and are not conducting sales.

For information on becoming a vendor at the event, email John Thomas, Community Service Officer for the Sheriff's Department, at jethomas@riversidesheriff.org.
