LOCK HAVEN - Beautiful weather greeted hundreds of kids and families that flocked to the Piper Building Complex in Lock Haven for the Second Annual Clinton County Night Out.

The event, held Saturday evening, was hosted by Sheriff Kerry Stover and District Attorney Dave Strouse.

The Night Out offered local law enforcement, emergency personnel and other area organizations the chance to give young community members an up close look at what they do.

The county's K-9 unit spoke about their role; fire companies offered various activities that incorporated their equipment like hoses and fire extinguishers; and much more was available during the event.

Other vendors in attendance were the Pennsylvania Game Commission and Fish and Boat Commission along with local vendors.

And, with clear skies and no emergencies, Geisinger Medical Center's Life Flight helicopter was able to touch down in the city - its pilots offering a glimpse into the important piece of equipment.

Kids had the opportunity to enjoy bounce houses and slides and participate in a foam party, too.

Food, provided by The Old Corner - a Gold Sponsor - was also available free of charge.

The event's Platinum Sponsor was McQuiade, Blasko - a law firm from State College.

Schlesinger Communication, the event's media sponsor, was on-hand throughout the event offering live coverage.
