RE: Neighborhood Night Out 2021
______________________________________________________________________
Mark your calendars for t NNO ) on Tuesday, August 3,
2021. Part of the National Night Out program, NNO in Fort Collins continues to be one of the
most anticipated and widely supported events in the City. Neighbors share that the continued
support of City Council truly contributes to the success of their events. Historically, City
Councilmembers dropped by to visit NNO events in their Council Districts and we hope you
would like to continue this tradition. Your willingness to participate and continue involvement
demonstrates the commitment elected officials have to residents across the City and the
importance you place on Fort Collins neighborhoods.
As we continue pandemic recovery in 2021, some neighbors are more comfortable limiting their
guest list to their neighbors. Event organizers are indicating on registration forms if they would
like to invite elected officials, Poudre Fire Authority, and/or Police Services to visit this year. To
help facilitate NNO visits, Neighborhood Services provides Councilmembers with a map and
event details for registered events that requested their participation occurring in their districts
the week before NNO. The Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem will receive the complete list of events
requesting participation by elected officials. How and where you spend the evening is up to you.
We typically see more than 100 events citywide. If you prefer to travel with a City staff member
to visit NNO events, indicate your preference when you confirm your availability and we will
connect you with a staff member and City vehicle. If you are unable to participate please let us
know and we can send a letter to the event hosts in your district.
The first 100 NNO events to register receive a $25 gift cards to support event needs. Neighbors
and participants are once again invited to use #FoCoNightOut to increase social media
presence and NNO awareness. We encourage you to utilize this hashtag when posting on
social media too. Thank you and please let Neighborhood Services know if you have any
questions or suggestions.
