National Night Out 2013....FABULOUS ! What else is there to say ? The night started off with absolutely beautiful weather and remained nice throughout the entire evening. The crowds strolled in, and well to be honest never stopped.
In speaking with Lt. Gray after the event, he mentioned it was probably one of the largest crowds yet. After a week of controversy surrounding this event I believe once the gates opened, the tension and anticipation of the night disappeared. This was North Andover's Night !

It was PARTY TIME...and a party it was. I had the honor of hosting North Andover Cam for the night and had the opportunity to interview some amazing people and cover some spectacular events.
The Essex County Sherriff K-9 demonstration was a definite crowd pleaser, Tallie and the Trombly Brothers ROCKED the house with DJ Officer Brush and the presentation of retirement awards to both Ken Wedge and Lt. Carney were teary eye moments.

Of course seeing over 70 merchants display their businesses, dancers dancing and kids with their faces painted is always a sign of a great event.
Let's not forget, the kids always enjoy getting into the police cars and climbing on the fire trucks.
And of course, NAPD and Neighborhood Watch are more than thrilled with the amount of school supplies donated by the residents of North Andover.
Once Again North Andover ...another National Night Out well done by ALL !
