National Night Out
On August 2nd, the Chamber hosted National Night Out Hercules! We were pleasantly surprised by the increase in the turnout from last year’s event. Approximately 1,500 people attended showing a strong spirit of community.
Present were Chamber directors, Hercules City Manager and Council members, City of Hercules Police officers and RHFD firefighters, CHP and a host of non-profit organizations and local businesses, and five food trucks
The crowd was largely families. Children played on playground equipment, rode the train, took advantage of free face painting, books, snack packs and participated in a myriad of games and activities.
A highlight for many, was getting their photos taken on the CHP motorcycle. The train ride was also a favorite, full capacity the entire event.
The weather cooperated and much of the crowd stayed till dark, camped out in folding chairs and on blankets to watch the movie provided by the Hercules Park & Rec Department.
The event was promoted widely with posters, flyers, outdoor banners, and through many social media platforms.
This event was made possible by sponsorship from the City of Hercules.
