New Milford announces National Night Out, library exhibit, teen carnival and 9/11 remembrance plans
Summary
Council promoted a slate of summer and fall community events: National Night Out (Aug. 4 with fireworks; rain date Aug. 6), library exhibit 'Revolutionary Lives' (opening reception July 30; exhibit July 29–Aug. 16), Teen Carnival (Aug. 5–8) and a 9/11 remembrance with a display of 2,977 origami cranes at Borough Hall.
Council used its announcements period to outline several upcoming community events. Mayor Michael Petrino proclaimed National Night Out for Aug. 4 at Kennedy Memorial Field with fireworks and a rain date of Aug. 6 and encouraged residents to attend. The Revolutionary Lives exhibit will open at the New Milford Public Library with a reception on July 30 and display July 29 through Aug. 16. The New Milford Teen Carnival is scheduled for Aug. 5–8 at the Elks Lodge, and the borough plans a Sept. 11 remembrance that will include a display of 2,977 origami cranes hung from Borough Hall; residents were invited to drop off an 8-by-8 crane with a message.
Council members also announced a Summer movie night series and other community activities (Friends of the Library book sale and catalog garage sale dates) and asked residents to consult the borough website and flyer links for details. Several councilors thanked volunteers and departmental staff for their work organizing events.
