Each year, National Night Out gets bigger and better, with more activities, more event-goers and more volunteers.
This year, National Night Out, a free community event, will be held Aug. 2 from 6-9 p.m. in downtown Galax, featuring dozens of kids activities, a mechanical bull, pony rides and bounce houses. The Galax Volunteer Fire Department will bring their fire trucks to give ladder rides.
The Galax High School stomp group will perform from 6-7 p.m., and a DJ will provide the entertainment for the rest of the night.
