National Night Out in Georgetown

When we lived in Georgia, National Night Out was generally an August event, but in Central Texas, it’s pretty hot then so this event is held the first week in October, still warm, but better!   I visited Georgetown’s Stonehaven Apartments on Tuesday night and met many nice people, including Georgetown police officer David Scurlock, Norma Perales (the lady giving a big hug to 6-year-old Juilette Dimas), 2-year-old David Sanchez, happily enjoying a cookie, and many others, including my friends from Taylor’s Folkloric Dance Collaborative, some seen in this post’s opening photo.   National NIght Out is an opportunity for neighbors to get together in a relaxed and fun setting and also get to know some of their area’s public safety officers, like officer Scurlock, as friendly as fellow as you’re likely to meet anywhere.    These are a few photos taken for a story by Brianne Tolj in the Williamson County Sun
