National Night Out, 2016 Post Event Report – This year 335 people checked in to the Aquatic Center for this event. Most were residents of Aransas Pass. Guests enjoyed hot dogs, chips, bottled water, and popcorn. On behalf of our sponsors, 24 Ring Video Doorbells were raffled off.
Several city staff were present and volunteered. That staff included members of the police department, public works, aquatics center, and the civic center. Also assisting were the Aransas Pass Chamber Director Rosemary Vega and a private resident Diana Eyhorn along with her husband. They too played a significant role in the event.
