(KLZA)-- Kids, games, free food, fire trucks and helicopters all were a big part of another successful National Night Out event at Stanton Lake Park in Falls City Tuesday evening.
The Falls City Police Department sponsors the event with the aid of many area first responder groups, city employees and volunteers.
Falls City Police officer Zach Ractliffe who coordinates the event said this year there were more games to get kids and adults to meet the people that may be the first person they see in an emergency situation.
One of the highlights of the evening was the landing of the LifeNet helicopter from St. Joseph.
Also during the evening, Falls City Legion Post #102 presented several awards. Jim Gerweck was presented the Legion's Emergency Medical Technician Accommodation. Zach Ractliffe was presented the Legion's Roger Schulenberg Award for Excellence in Law Enforcement and Jon McQueen who was presented the Legion's Kenny Simpson Award for Excellence in Firefighting during the annual Fire Department Dinner in February was also recognized.
