ORLEANS COUNTY/National Night Out cancelled for August 2021

Press release

It is with deep regret that we must announce that the 2021 National Night Out event scheduled
for August 3, 2021 is being cancelled due to Covid-19 concerns.

Last year’s event was postponed from its original date of August 4, 2020, and rescheduled to October 6, 2020. The event then had to be cancelled.

The National Night Out Committee had hopes that the risks associated with Covid-19 would be
mitigated by August. However, the reality is that it is unknown as to when large gatherings will
be safe. While we as a community have done an amazing job to control the infection rate, we
cannot guarantee that our event could be held in a manor to keep people safe.

This is very unfortunate as the event helps connect people in need with resources that can be life
changing. This at a time when those resources are needed more than ever. The National Night
Out committee is committed to bring back the event in the future and make it better than ever.

Any donations that were made to the event will be applied to next event unless they are requested
to be refunded.

The next event will be held on August 2, 2022 at Bullard Park.

Below is a list of past participants that may can be contacted if anyone needs that assistance that
they offer to our community.
