Organizers announced Thursday it had raised approximately $1350 to go towards the Morrisville Fire Company through raffles and donations from the community at the NNO event.

Morrisville Fire Chief Matt Wiedenhaefer was grateful for the efforts of the NNO Morrisville organization. 

“We really appreciate the support and everything the National Night Out group does putting the event together. It’s a great evening to bring the community together,” Wiedenhaefer said.

The event, attended by hundreds, featured the classic rock tones of Whiskey Logic and have approximately 50 organizations, businesses, and elected officials attend.
