National Night Out was a huge success! Along with our department, the Michigan State Police, Mecosta County Sheriff's Office, Barryton Police Department, Ferris State University Department of Public Safety, Big Rapids Fire Department, The US Forest Service, and the Big Rapids Township Fire Department, came out to connect to the community and build lasting relationships.
A big shout out to all of the vendors that came out to talk to the public and had lots of games and prizes as well. Also thanks to several players from the Ferris State Football team for coming out and volunteering your time to help out and Bob Aldrich and B 103.9 - Big Rapids New #1 for broadcasting live.
National Night Out would not be possible if it weren't for the support from local businesses. Thank you to Big Rapids First United Methodist Church for donating the hotdogs, buns, chips and condiments. Thank you to The Yellow Window & Little Brown Sack Deli & BBQ for cooking all of those hotdogs (almost 600!) and supplying the dunk tank. Thank you to Ice Mountain Natural Spring Water for the water donation and PepsiCo for the pop.
Mark you calendars for next year's NNO, Tuesday, August 1st, 2023!
