National Night Out set for Oct. 4

Cameron will celebrate National Night Out on Tuesday, Oct. 4, from 6-8 p.m. at the new Cameron Police Department at 605 West 4th.

According to Police Chief Randy Dixon, as in years past there will be food, fun, giveaways, and booths about health, safety and welfare. 

“This year, we will have musical entertainment provided by Rocking Rick which is a Central Texas entertainer that has played all over Texas,” he said. “There will be cotton candy, a bounce house, a food truck giving away brownie bites and hopefully hot dogs as we did last year.”  

There will also be displays of emergency vehicles and McGruff the Crime Dog will be prowling the area.

The location of the event this year will be adjacent to the new Cameron Police Department located at 605 West 4th in Cameron.  

Standards Home Health and Winnie L. Nursing Center will be the 2016 sponsors of this event.  

“We are looking for any organization or business who wishes to set up a booth or participate in the event,” Dixon said. “Anyone who might wish to donate any give away promotional items, they too would be appreciated and can be dropped off at the Cameron Police Department. Commercial, local, medical, church groups are welcome to come and take part with booths or tables.”

Call Chief Randy Dixon at (254) 697-6574 for more information.
