Kind of weird. I moved from Amsterdam NY to Auburn, Maine, and we too our having our National Night Out on August 1st (as I believe most are), and ours is in our Veteran's Park
Boy has Amsterdam, NY changing A LOT since we left. Not a little lot, a Lot, Lot!. It is now our main stop whenever we travel anywhere - as our first stay over place (The Castle), when it's close enough.
