The 2023 National Night Out event was held on Tuesday, August 1, in Hartmann Park on Oakwood Rd. It was our 26th year of participating in National Night Out. We had free food and ice cream, several inflatables to jump on, face painting, a water spray and enough music to get everyone moving. The bookmobile from the Cook Memorial Library was also on hand as was representatives from the Vernon Hills Park District and Hawthorn School District 73.
As is always the case, we had plenty of food to go around. The crowd seemed slightly larger than in past years. We cooked over 400 hot dogs and more than 500 hamburgers. By the time the event ended we had also gone through 1000 bottles of water, over 980 cans of pop, 1,350 bags of snacks and 720 ice cream bars!
As always, NNO is completely free and is meant for our residents to come out and get to know their neighbors, meet the police and (most of all) have fun!
Teams from the Vernon Hills Park District, Depke Juvenile Complex and Christ Church took part in some (friendly) volleyball matches.
The 2023 national sponsors of NNO are Starbucks, Renewal by Anderson, Academy Sports + Outdoors and AT&T.
Trying to pull off an event like NNO would not be possible without the assistance of many, many volunteers. Huge thanks goes out to some our Citizen's Police Academy graduates and other great Vernon Hills residents who graciously donated their time to help serve food, distribute children's tattoos and take the pictures shown below.
