Northeast Park in Kewanee buzzed with excitement during the 2025 Kewanee Police and Fire National Night Out. Residents filled the park to connect with first responders and take part in activities for all ages. The Oasis Pool offered a free swim, drawing a steady crowd eager to cool off. Kewanee Police and Henry County Sheriff’s Office K9s gave thrilling bite demonstrations.
