An excellent crowd gathered at the Samuel Mickle School on August 3, 2004 -- National Night Out. Many families were present to participate in this annual event focusing on safety, and as a going-away party for crime and substance abuse.


This free celebration was held from 6:30 to 9:30 PM at the SAMUEL MICKLE SCHOOL, with free trolley transportation from parking lots at the MOUNT ROYAL FIRE COMPANY, the EAST GREENWICH FIRE COMPANY and MICKLETON PARK.

Attractions included D.J. music, a rock climbing wall, free beverages, free National Night Out giveaways, free popcorn, ice cream, hot dogs, and beverages, along with displays and exhibits by the East Greenwich Municipal Alliance, East Greenwich Police Department, Mount Royal Fire Company, East Greenwich Fire Company, East Greenwich Ambulance Association, SODAT, Underwood-Memorial Hospital Mobile Intensive Care Unit, and the American Red Cross.

See photographs below that tell the story of a great evening.
