Mountain Village: National Night Out, 8/1

29 Jul Mountain Village: National Night Out, 8/1

Bringing together community members and emergency responders, the Mountain Village Police Department is excited to announce the sixth annual National Night Out Tuesday, August 1, 5 –8 p.m.

The community is invited to join their neighbors, police, and fire department teams at the Mountain Village’s Village Court Apartments (VCA) for a free ice cream social, hot dogs, and tours of police cars, fire trucks and ambulance. Free gun safety locks will be available, and the Telluride Fire District will offer free blood pressure readings. Also, this year’s festivities will include free swag, karaoke, games, a donut eating contest and much more.

Millions of neighbors take part in National Night Out across thousands of communities from all 50 states, U.S. territories, Canadian cities, and military bases worldwide on the first Tuesday in August.

National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our communities safer, more caring places to live. National Night Out enhances the relationship between neighbors and law enforcement while bringing back a real sense of community. Furthermore, it provides an excellent opportunity to bring police and neighbors together under positive circumstances.

“Once again, we are excited to bring together our neighbors and residents to get to know one another and the first responders who serve them in the community,” said Mountain Village Police Chief Chris Broady. “A huge thanks goes to the Village Court Apartment staff for taking the lead in organizing this year’s event.”

About Mountain Village:

Situated in the heart of the breathtaking San Juan Mountains, Mountain Village was incorporated in 1995 as a home rule municipality.  Its founders envisioned a European-style ski-in/ski-out, pedestrian-friendly destination resort that would complement the historic mining town of Telluride. A three-stage gondola transportation system connects the Town of Mountain Village with the Town of Telluride. Situated at 9,500 feet, Mountain Village is comparably a world apart from other resorts: it is innately spectacular, beautifully orchestrated and planned, and overflowing with style, charm and sophistication.
