If you don't know what National Night Out is....
It's observed annually when participating organizations/groups honor their heroes (the firefighters, police, law enforcement like the attorney general's office etc).
So, August 2nd was National Night out for 2022.
We had a blast! Our community room was crowded with our heroes, our residents, guests. We had refreshments, karaoke, music, dancing, a photo opt (jail related) and all around wonderful night.
My daughter Shirley brought some yummy cookies to add to the refreshment table and stayed around to enjoy the festivities with me. I'd been a little under the weather but yet I forgot my troubles and just had a great time.

A firefighter even did karaoke! He had a great voice.

No, I did not get up and dance! Although I would have liked to if I had felt better.
We so appreciate the good care our law-enforcement gives us 'older folks'.
A fun way to celebrate and honor those who serve us. Sorry to hear you're not feeling well. Vertigo still there?
ReplyDeleteSure hope you’re feeling better. That’s a terrific daughter you have!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! I love going to these. and you got wonderful photos, showing the joy of community. We went to ours last week, but the place was empty. Never did find out why, maybe they posted the wrong location!
ReplyDeleteLooks like this was a fun event for all and there were a lot of happy folks in these photos, Latane. I hope you are feeling better now.
ReplyDeleteOh it is good to get out, even when you don't feel like dancing. Sometimes it's almost as good to watch others dance.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun time. I am sorry you have been under the weather and hope you are all better soon. Sending hugs and prayers your way🙏🏼
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great event! Fun for all. I hope you feel better soon.
