What a great evening! Thank you to everyone who came out and made this year's National Night Out such a success! We had a fantastic evening, and it was great to see so many people come together to enjoy the event, connect with one another, and spend time with local first responders.

National Night Out is about more than just a fun evening—it's an opportunity to build relationships, strengthen our communities, and connect with the people who live, work, and serve here. Seeing so many families, friends, and neighbors come together is a great reminder of what makes our communities so special.

This event wouldn't have been possible without the support of our volunteers, community partners, and sponsors. A special thank you to the City of Butterfield for donating 1919 Root Beer for the root beer floats, and to Butterfield Foods for generously providing the hot dogs, baked beans, and chips. We also appreciate Butterfield Fire and Rescue and Mountain Lake Ambulance Association for serving food alongside our deputies and helping make the evening such a success.

Thank you again to everyone who came out and made this year's National Night Out such a memorable event. We appreciate your continued support and look forward to seeing you at future community events!
