NNO was held on Tuesday, August 3rd at Longview Park from 5:30 - 7:30 pm. Despite the heat and humidity, people came out to talk with Rock Island's City and County police officers, taste some of the grilled food items, and take part in the national event. Thanks to Rock Island officers for grilling and serving hot dogs and hamburgers to the crowd, and to Target for furnishing water and free give-aways. Hope to see everyone again next year - only in a little cooler weather!
