The Warwick Police Department is teaming up with the Warwick Valley Prevention Coalition to bring this free, family-friendly event to the community from 5 to 8 p.m. at Veterans Memorial Park, Forester Ave. in Warwick.
Enjoy games, face painting and other fun activities while listening to music by the Black Dirt Bandits. Children will have the opportunity to explore DPW and farm trucks, racecars, and emergency service vehicles in the Touch-A-Truck area. Food trucks will be onsite and once again, the WPD will be barbecuing hotdogs.
“We are looking forward to a fun evening and to continue strengthening community relationships,” said Chief John Rader.
In addition to the WPD, other local police departments and emergency services units will be participating. Many non-profits and local businesses throughout the Town and County will be on hand to provide local resources to residents, offering everyone the opportunity to learn more about their organization.
