Westport celebrates National Night Out with Representative Ouellette and Select Board chair
Summary
Westport's National Night Out drew town leaders and families; Representative Ouellette and Select Board chair Shauna Tees praised the police department's outreach and thanked organizers, stressing community ties and public-safety engagement.
An event host welcomed residents to Westport's National Night Out and introduced Representative Ouellette and Shauna Tees, chair of the select board, who attended to support the town's community and public-safety outreach.
Shauna Tees, introduced by the host as chair of the select board, praised the police department for organizing the event and thanked the volunteers. "It's great to be here...the kids love the trucks," she said, noting appreciation for the turnout and the favorable weather. Tees thanked everyone who organized the displays and activities that drew families to the event.
Representative Ouellette told the host his primary reason for attending was personal: "Number 1 reason is my my 2 year old grandson, obviously." He added that he has long-standing community ties and came out to support town events when he could. Later in the conversation, Ouellette said he served as a reserve police officer for 19 years and earlier worked as a firefighter, remarks that speakers used to underscore his connection to local emergency services.
The host also highlighted the town's Commission on Disability and thanked the guests for their support at both the town and state levels, saying the leaders "live here" and take a vested interest in Westport. The gathering emphasized neighborhood engagement with public-safety teams rather than any formal policy action; no votes or motions were taken at the event.
