Great music lined up for SPNA Night Out Against Crime

Sylvan Park's Night Out Against Crime will feature several great musicians who live in or near the neighborhood. Neighborhood Watch captain Doug Eckert reports:

"Gail Davies lives in our neighborhood and is going to sing a few songs for us as part of this. She is such a legend in this town for her songwriting, singing and producing, I can't believe we are this lucky. She has a voice that could sing the phone book and mesmerize you."

Kathy Chiavola, Butch Baldisari, Larry Reynolds and Rob Stanley are all scheduled to perform, too. Don't miss this free celebration at the corner of 44th Avenue and Wyoming Avenue tomorrow night (August 7).

SPNA Night Out Against Crime tomorrow night (Aug. 7)

Sylvan Park’s annual Night Out Against Crime celebration is tomorrow night! Don't miss the Sylvan Park Neighborhood Association’s largest sponsored event of the year, attended by hundreds of residents as well as public safety personnel, elected officials and candidates for public office.

This year the free celebration returns to the Sylvan Park Neighborhood streets, with music and fun and hot dogs for everyone. It will be held this year at the corner of 44th Avenue and Wyoming Avenue from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., on Tuesday, August 7.

Over the years, Sylvan Park’s Night Out Against Crime has become a “neighborhood cookout” with free hot dogs, chips and soft drinks for the attendees. Members of Nashville’s police, fire, Sheriff and emergency services workforce will be on hand throughout the evening to share tips on crime prevention and receive the thanks of a very grateful neighborhood.

The Sylvan Park celebration is part of a national one that sends the message that the real solutions to issues of safety and quality of life lie in community standards, cooperation and action. It is a perfect opportunity to meet new neighbors, reacquaint with old neighbors, recommit to working together and celebrate the accomplishments of the past year.
