Mid-County Neighborhood Initiative

National Night Out 2004




On Tuesday, August 3, 2004, with a great deal of preparation, the Mid-County Neighborhood Initiative promoted a National Night Out Event, held at NorthGate Park in Aspen Hill Maryland.

A great many sponsors assisted us in a wide variety of ways. Please be sure to patronize the commercial sponsors who whose assistance was invaluable and essential!

We especially wish to thank the Maryland/National Capital Park and Planning Commission ("MNCPPC") and the MNCPPC Park Police for their assistance and sponsorship. In particular, we wish to thank Parks Maintenance for their exemplary efforts to clear out underbrush, increase visibility within the park, add picnic tables and generally make the park more attractive to the neighborhood. We also must commend them for their fine job of levelling and resurfacing the basketball court, and for the new playground equipment.

Please see our page of sights and sounds of this event! The page has lot of images and so it may take some time to load if you have a slow connection to the InterNet. For those who have high-speed connections, we have full-motion video of some of the performances, available in rather large MPEG files.

A professional photographer took some still photos of this event, and some of them are very good! Please find them here. These are very large images which may take some time to download. Much smaller versions may be found here.
