Fifth by Northwest National Night Out August 3rd!
Posted by admin on Jun 30, 2010 in Crime and Safety, News And Events | 0 comments
On Tuesday, August 3rd, neighborhoods throughout Columbus are being invited to join forces with thousands of communities nationwide for the “27th Annual National Night Out” (NNO) crime and drug prevention event. The Fifth by Northwest Area Commission will be sponsoring the National Night Out for our area. It is also sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch and will involve over 14,624 communities from all 50 states, US territories, Canadian cities and military bases around the world. In all, over 36.7 million people are expected to participate. NNO 2010 is being supported in part by TARGET, a national corporate sponsor.
Our goal for the evening’s activities throughout Fifth by Northwest is get our residents out and about, walking and biking, meeting each other and unifying against crime.
We want to offer you the opportunity to be involved in the National Night Out in two simple ways.
- Display a poster in your office, store or restaurant so residents, customers and colleagues are aware of the evenings festivities. If you have a Facebook page, Twitter or Linked In account, be sure to post our info there.
- Be present! Residents will be walking around Fifth by Northwest the evening of August 3 from 6-9PM. Will YOU be there, too? What can you to show our residents that you are a part of this community and unified with them against crime in a creative, unique way? Are you a dog groomer or vet? Maybe you can offer pet photos. Are you a landscaper? Give a demonstration on how to properly trim hedges so burglars can’t hide there. Maybe you just want to offer free hot dogs or balloons or play games. Great! Let us know what you want to offer at your location during the National Night Out, and we’ll be sure to include it on our map of activities. Keep in mind that the National Night Out is a family-FRIENDLY, but not necessarily family-FOCUSED event, so feel free to be creative with your participation.
There will be planned events and block parties all throughout Fifth by Northwest. There will even be a PIZZA CRAWL highlighting the 10+ locally owned pizza establishments in Fifth by Northwest! All of this activity designed to get our neighbors out and about, meeting each other and unifying against crime. We hope you’ll join us.
If you are interested in becoming a part of our 2010 National Night Out, (and we certainly hope you are), please reply to nno@fifthbynorthwest.org at your earliest convenience. Of course, we will include details of your participation on our promotions for your kindness.

Hi everyone,
The Pizza Crawl promotions are posted on the website and the Facebook account, and has been scheduled to tweet (Twitter has been terrible the past few days). The complete National Night Out promotional packet is not available yet because I have a few things to add to that post and flyer before I’m comfortable adding it. I hope to finish those things Thursday and post it on Thursday, then send you back and email when it has been done.
Getting there!
Quick question – does anyone have a connection with a dunk booth operator, and / or a mobile karoke operator who might come out at no cost?
