Montague County SO ‘Night Out’ activities

Montague County Sheriff Marshall Thomas invites everyone to attend the third annual National Night Out event from 6-8 p.m. on Oct. 4 in Montague on the courthouse square.
National Night Out celebrates the police-community partnership and allows an opportunity for the groups to interact on a more personal level. Thomas said this will be a family event that includes a free meal of a chopped barbecue sandwich, chips and a drink. Activities will include an inflatable BB gun range, door prizes, a bounce house, face painting, free popcorn and more.
Thomas said he has been very pleased with the turnout during the first two years, even last year with COVID looming there was a good crowd.
“It is a way for my staff and the public to interact and meet each other in a different atmosphere. It also is a good educational event for younger kids to meet law enforcement and see we are not the bad guys,” explained the sheriff.
The Montague County Child Welfare Board and Crime Stoppers will be participating to provide information, along with fire departments and other law enforcement that are being invited. The SO also will have a table with information about job opportunities within its office.
“It has been pretty successful, even last year when the pandemic slowed things we had a good turnout. We hope for a good crowd because it is a good opportunity for law enforcement and the public to get together and talk, share ideas and they can see what we are all about,” concluded Thomas.
