Photos from National Night Out in PLG 2010

On Tuesday, August 3, 2010, neighborhoods across the country celebrated The National Night Out Against Crime. The 71st Precinct hosted our local festivities on Sterling Street (between Bedford and Rogers Avenues). The night out featured a delicious barbeque, a bicycle was raffled off, and there were bouncy rides for the kids — but the best part was just hanging out with our neighbors on a beautiful summer night. Thank you to everyone at the 71st Precinct and the residents of Sterling 2 for a great night out!
