The City of Lebanon’s National Night Out festivities took place at the Salvation Army last night, and LebTown was there to capture the scene.

Lebanon’s event was one of a half-dozen National Night Out gatherings held in Lebanon County on Tuesday night as part of the national annual event, meant to foster relationships between communities and law enforcement.

Food, games, and giveaways are typically part of the night, but every community does things just a little bit differently. (The Daily News attended Annville’s NNO event, and you can see pics of that one here.)

Folks started arriving at last night’s National Night Out event shortly before 6pm. Everything was held at the Salvation Army’s facilities, located at 1031 Guilford Street in Lebanon.

More pizza, but from another angle. Jenn and husband, John, operate Domino’s locations in downtown Lebanon as well as a newer one in Myerstown. Here Jenn is accompanied by City Council member Cornell Wilson.
Ok, one more slice, for the road! Thanks, Jenn!

Although most of the other participants weren’t professionals, that didn’t hold anyone back from having fun! Iglesias’ specialty is salsa dancing.
