Dear Editor,

The first annual Fairfield National Night Out has come and gone.  The Fairfield Police Association believes that it was a great success and had a wonderful time out with the citizens of this community. 
In this Nation’s current state of relations we feel the need to bridge the gap and open communications between the citizens and the law enforcement of this community.  We will strive to keep this relationship going for years to come and look forward to bringing more events to our area including National Night Out 2017. 
We know that we were not able to get everyone that attended signed in, but we did show that 171 adults and 206 children were signed in and came from all over Freestone County with a couple people from even farther out. 
We would like to thank all our sponsors, volunteer’s and venders that showed up to make the event great. 
Groups that helped with donations or onsite include but are not limited to, Capp’s Hardware, Brookshire Brothers, Sunbelt Rentals, Red Hat Rentals, O’Rielly Auto Parts, Napa Auto Parts, Sonic, Dairy Queen, Fairfield 4H, Civil Air Patrol, Something Different, Fairfield State Park, First Baptist Church Fairfield, Fairfield Chamber of Commerce, Carter Enterprise, All Star Ford, Texas State Game Warden’s (Freestone Co.), Bush’s Chicken, Air Evac Lifeteam, City of Fairfield Parks and Recreation Department and the City of Fairfield and its employees. We also want to thank all the Freestone County Fire, EMS and Law Enforcement agencies that were able to attend and help make this a great event for a great community. 
Thank You to everyone that came out and we are excited to start working on next year’s NNO and making it bigger and better.

M. Sean Frasier, President
Fairfield Police Association
