National Night Out Fun, Food + Music Tonight in Your Town

Tonight is National Night Out all over the country and very active and supported in the Western New York community. The mission across the United States is to get the public and neighborhoods to interact and get to know their local police departments and other town officials with a lot of food, music and fun.
