A Triumphant National Night Out

Games, ice cream, burgers, giveaways, face-painting, trivia — we had it all. Oh, and a dry beautiful night, too! 

Such a terrific night did not just fall into place. The incredible work done by the MCA volunteers and Robinson high schoolers (who helped run face-painting and the games) lead by our NNO chief John Bayer made for the memorable night possible. 

I want to say a huge THANK YOU to them. I’d also like to thank our Robinson Boosters, first responders, local businesses/public organizations that came and/or donated terrific raffle prizes, and the local political leaders who joined us to reignite this wonderful tradition. 

The night allowed us to reintroduce MCA to the community, come together again following the last few years of COVID quiet, and meet as neighbors in a fun and welcoming environment. 

If you had a good time and want to join us in planning and executing this tremendous event next year, we welcome the help and support. 

Thank You Volunteers
