On Tuesday, August 2, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., the Sea Isle City Police Department (SICPD) will host a National Night Out celebration at the Excursion Park Band Shell, located at JFK Boulevard and the Promenade. As is the case in towns and cities throughout the country, the focus of Sea Isle’s National Night Out is to increase awareness for important police programs, such as drug prevention, avoiding juvenile alcohol use, and other anti-crime efforts.
Kids will get an up-close look at a wide variety of police and safety equipment during National Night Out in Sea Isle City on August 2. Shown with SICPD Patrolman Matthew Mehlhouse in 2015 are brothers Bryce McManus, 8, and Gavin McManus, 7, of Oreland, PA.
Sea Isle City’s National Night Out will feature complementary snacks and other give-aways, as well as a variety of free activities, including face painters, an inflatable obstacle course, a photo booth, games, live music and other family fun. There will also be a dunk tank, which will raise funds for Mayor Desiderio’s 2016 Holiday Toy and Food Drive.
Families are invited to Excursion Park on August 2 for free entertainment, give-aways and activities during Sea Isle City’s annual National Night Out celebration. Shown handing complementary food and snacks to guests in 2015 is Anthony DiAntonio, owner of Camo Dogs Hot Dogs.
Families will also enjoy a variety of interactive law enforcement and safety displays, manned by representatives from Sea Isle City’s Fire Department, Ambulance Corps and Beach Patrol, as well as the Cape May County’s Sheriff’s Office, Prosecutor’s Office and S.W.A.T. Team. At the SICPD table, officers will allow people to try-on special goggles that show how severely alcohol impairs basic functions.
Afterwards, everyone can settle-in for a free showing of the hit Disney movie Descendants, which will begin at dusk at Excursion Park. Families are reminded to bring folding chairs or beach blankets to recline on the park’s lawn during the movie.
