At this year’s National Night Out, residents can meet members of the Homewood Police and Fire departments and shop for local produce.
On Aug. 4 from 5-8 p.m., National Night Out will be held at Shades Valley Community Church off of Oxmoor Road. The weekly West Homewood Farmer’s Market will take place at the same time, adding a few more elements to the event.
The farmer’s market typically runs through the end of July, but it is continuing for an extra week for National Night Out. There will be jewelry, produce and live music as a part of the market.
Homewood Police Department will have demonstrations from the tactical team, information from detectives and safety gear to give away. Homewood Fire Department fire trucks and equipment will also be on display
