Tuesday night was National Night Out Against Crime which is a chance for communities to come together against crime and drugs.
This national event has gone on for 25 years, but I have never attended. It think it is great when national events can happen at the local level.
Eldersburg was host for the event for the first time this year. I few other places in Carroll also held National Night Out events.
The Freedom Area Citizens Council and Carroll County Sheriff's Department put the event together which was a good attempt for the first time.
Eldersburg is home to many commuters. The two high schools, Century and Liberty have been picking up honors lately.
The event at Carrolltown Center brought out a lot of people together. Many county groups like Carroll Hospital Center, Sykesville Fire Department, Carroll County Sheriff Department, Lions Club and many others.
Many of the groups offered free items like pens, note pads and candy along with information. The younger crowd enjoyed the moon bounce, yo yo man and fire safety trailer.
It was a great event as folks had fun and were able to learn something also.
