Seekonk Celebrates National Night Out

Members of the Seekonk Police and Fire Departments hosted the annual National Night Out on August 4 behind the Public Safety headquarters on Taunton Avenue.

Police Chief David Enos said National Night Out was a way to “bring the community in, interact with the (police) officers, and have a good time.”

The family friendly event included representatives from community organizations including Save-a-Pet and the Seekonk Fire Museum who were selling merchandise and providing information about their services.

National Grid employees held a special demonstration, along with the Seekonk Police K-9 unit. Police and fire apparatus were on display.

There was also free food, music, and raffles.

Seekonk’s National Night Out always draws a large crowd, and this year was no exception.

“We’re pretty lucky. A lot of communities do it. I think we have one of the biggest ones,” Enos added.
