Several communities in the five-county Times News coverage area will be participating in this year’s annual National Night Out observance Tuesday.
Each of them has various programs scheduled to tie in.
Jim Thorpe will kick off its first “Trees in the Park” program with a lighting ceremony Thursday night at 6 p.m. in Memorial Park.
Trees, provided by Walker Tree Farm in Lehighton, were made available.
Tuesday was the official “National Night Out,” a nationwide movement that helps build good relationships between police and the local communities. In Jim Thorpe, a large crowd came out to Memorial Par.
