The National Association of Town Watch has awarded Richardson second place in the nation for its 2021 National Night Out (NNO) celebration. Richardson was awarded in the category for areas with populations of 100,000-300,000. The Richardson celebration took place Oct. 5 at local parks and featured neighborhood group picnics and visits by costumed characters, first responders and local dignitaries.
NNO is held annually and promotes camaraderie between neighbors and between neighborhoods and local police, helping foster a sense of community and prevent crime.
