Words cannot express how grateful we are, but we'll give it a shot...

Thank you to everyone who joined us on Tuesday for our 2nd Annual National Night Out! Seeing so many families, friends, neighbors, and visitors come together to enjoy an evening of fun, laughter, and community is what this event is all about.

A heartfelt thank you goes to our amazing sponsors and vendors. Your generosity, time, and support made it possible for us to offer this event completely free to our community. We truly couldn't have done it without you, and we are so grateful for your partnership.

Thank you as well to our officers and dispatchers, fellow Town staff Town of Kennebunkport Kennebunkport Recreation Kennebunkport Fire Department Kennebunkport EMS, and everyone who volunteered and worked behind the scenes. Building relationships and strengthening the connection between us and our community is the heart of National Night Out, and because of all of you, it was another wonderful success. You all worked so hard, and yet the happiness on everyone's faces was the greatest reward we could have asked for!

We also want to give a very special thank you to our own Community Resource Detective Haley Maguire. Months of planning, coordinating, and hard work went into making this event a success, and Haley's dedication was the driving force behind it all. We are incredibly grateful for everything she did to bring our community together for such a memorable evening.
