National Night out -2009 Northshore Park family event

Even though it was springling rain on arrival, there were automobiles lined up on Lake Woodlands for quite a way. In the park, I found plenty of people enjoying the displays of the crime fighting forces and emergency units we have locally. Vehicles of all sorts were on display, along with other equipment used for fighting crime, fire and response units for various emergencies.

Dignitaries present included House Representative Kevin Brady and Sheriff Guage, Mr Brady delivered the speech.

Firefighting and rescue vehicles lined the street in the park for families to see.

Children usually like to pet the horses and ask questions. They sometimes are surprised and frightened by the size of the animal. These mounted security personnel mostly work in the Town Center.

CISD police were there to explain their role and jurisdiction. They also provided the cook and BBQ grill for the hamburgers and hot dogs. This is CISD's "hot car".
