(KLZA)-- The Second Annual Falls City Night Out was a big success.

Falls City Police Officer Zach Ractliffe who leads the organization of the event estimated 500 people attended this year and said he was happy with the turnout. 

A number of law enforcement agencies, first responders and other organizations took part.  Ractliffe says entire families show up for the event that offers demonstrations, free hot dogs soft drinks and free swimming. 

Ractliffe said the LifeNet helicopter was a popular display along with the State Fire Marshall’s, Fire Safety trailer and the Iowa Tribes small cars you can drive while wearing the impairment glasses. 

National Night Out is a chance for the public to have a positive interaction with law enforcement personnel and first responders.
