National Night Out, also known as Night to Unite, took place Aug. 1. Neighborhoods throughout Northern Dakota County threw block parties, like this one on Bixby Way in Inver Grove Heights.
 

Entire blocks were shut down due to the festivities like this one on Felix Street in West St. Paul.

Local fire and police departments made the rounds, visiting parties throughout their cities. Ten-month-old Brynn got her first police sticker from a South St. Paul officer at a Northview Park party.
