Police and fire host adapted, ‘Atascadero Night Out’ event
–The Seventh Annual Night Out for Atascadero took on a little different form Wednesday night in Colony Park. Police SGT John Taylor organized the event. Because of COVID-19, people were not allowed to gather, but police and fire personnel who were not on duty were on hand.
The intent was to create more synergy between people in the community and Atascadero police and fire departments. The Atascadero Fire Department brought a fire engine which people admired, and a few kids climbed aboard.
Starbucks employees wearing face-masks volunteered to serve free coffee to those who attended.
Cars lined up around the parking lot for a Halloween Movie shown on a portable screen. Starbucks employees wearing face-masks volunteered to serve free coffee to those who attended.
Many who attended bought food at local restaurants, ate dinner and watched the Halloween movie.
One young participant said, “Watching ‘Hocus Pocus’ is a little scarier wearing a face mask.”
