National Night Out
More than 100 neighborhoods throughout Greensboro braved the heat on August 1 to 
participate in National Night Out (NNO). National Night Out, sponsored locally by the Greensboro Police Department, is designed to heighten crime and drug prevention awareness, generate support for local anti-crime programs, and strengthen partnerships between the police and the community.
Along with traditional displays of outdoor lights and front porch vigils, neighborhoods in Greensboro celebrated NNO with a variety of events and activities such as cookouts, picnics, backyard suppers, visits from firefighters, ice cream parties, watermelon cuttings, and parades.
