INDIAN RIVER COUNTY – K-9s and bike checks and squad cars – oh my! This Tuesday, Vero Beach and Sebastian both will host their respective Community Night Out bringing together the public and those in public safety.
Both events will be held on Oct. 3 – at Riverview Park in Sebastian, the event runs from 5 to 7 p.m., while Vero’s is offset by a half-hour and begins at 5:30 p.m. The Vero night out will be held at Humiston Beach Park on Ocean Drive.
Col. Danny McKnight is the special guest for the Sebastian Community Night. Col. McKnight was involved in the Blackhawk Down incident in Somalia. He will be signing copies of his book, which will be for sale for $20.
DJ Sebastian Has Hip Hop will provide entertainment.
Along with the Sebastian Police Department, there will be representatives from the Indian River County Sheriff’s Office, the City of Sebastian, and regional, state and federal law enforcement agencies. Local businesses providing home and personal safety products will also be on hand.
There will be food, activities, demonstrations, and, of course, numerous vehicles to climb into and explore.
Vero Beach’s Community Night Out at Humiston Park will have much the same as Sebastian’s, along with bicycle safety checks, K-9 demonstrations, and a bounce house.
Sponsors for Community Night Out are the local Target and Publix stores.
