The Colona Police Department is gearing up for its annual National Night Out, scheduled for Tuesday, August 5th, at 5 PM in Hennepin Canal Parkway. This year’s theme, “Disconnect from tech, explore outdoors,” encourages community members to swap screen time for outdoor fun and neighborhood connections. Attendees can interact with local police and fire personnel, explore emergency vehicles, and enjoy a visit from the Kona Ice truck. Raffle prize donations with an outdoor recreation focus—like picnic gear, camping supplies, or sporting games—are welcome at the Colona Police Department. Organizers are hopeful for another record turnout in celebration of small-town spirit.
