The Kerns Neighborhoods Asso
ciation will be hosting their annual
“National Night Out” Picnic onTues-
day, Aug. 7 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at
Oregon Park (Com er ofN E 30th and
Oregon Street).
National Night Out is celebrated
every first T uesday in A ugust,
throughout Portland and the entire
nation. It’s a time for neighbors to
come together - on front, porches, in
streets or parks to get to know each
other better and become more active
in their communities as a way to help
fight against crime.
The annual Kerns Neighborhoods
picnic is probably the largest and
most successful “National NightOut”
event in Portland. It is a real tribute to
the neighborhood’s sprit. Last year,
over 600 people attended.
This year's highlights include a
delicious free dinner, with burgers
from Burgerville, entertainment for
the whole family including live blues
music, display by dozens o f area
businesses and a f »bilious raffle.
For more information, contact Mira
Ames a t503-309-0071.
