As the 10th Annual Valor Awards begin to take shape for the upcoming October 6th event, celebrating actions that have gone above and beyond the call of duty in protecting our community, National Night Out took to the streets of Winchester and throughout the county to connect law enforcement to communities. Families and neighbors were able to meet local police and sheriff departments, fire and rescue departments, and local non-profits at Jordan Springs Elementary School, Laurel Ridge Community College, Old Town Winchester, and Rose Hill Park in Berryville, Virginia. If you were in downtown Winchester for the event, you may have also come across Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle-Sears showing her support for our community and those who serve to protect. Local event organizers were glad to see the event so well attended by the community and vendors with over forty booths set up on the walking mall after a few years of limited participation. Events all over our region were a great success.
