Organizers confirm National Night Out plans; vendors, sheriff and fire expected, music and family activities arranged
Summary
Committee members reported progress on National Night Out planning for early August, including vendor confirmations, entertainment, public-safety participation and logistical needs such as helium for balloons and volunteer staffing.
Estacada—Committee volunteers reported progress organizing National Night Out (planned for early August). Organizers have booked music, reached out to public-safety partners and were assembling vendor confirmations and event logistics.
Confirmed participants included the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office, CERT, Estacada School District, and several local nonprofits and vendors. Organizer notes: John Munn volunteered to perform for a fee of $150; the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office and other partners indicated they would attend; Life Flight was unavailable due to other commitments.
Organizers discussed logistics including bounce-house/balloon procurement, banner placement and volunteer setup. Questions remained about helium sourcing and banners; staff said they would follow up on vendor permitting and logistics. The committee discussed the event schedule, vendor permitting responsibilities and the remaining procurement tasks. Melanie and event leads asked committee members to help with setup and volunteer staffing on the day of the event.
Why it matters: National Night Out is a community outreach and preparedness opportunity that ties municipal public-safety agencies to neighborhood engagement and the committee's traffic-safety outreach.
Next steps: Organizers will confirm vendor permits, finalize the schedule, secure helium or balloon alternatives if required, and coordinate volunteer setup times.
