Citywide NeighborFest, McClure Park, Aug. 15

You are invited to join Mayor Kathy Taylor and the Tulsa City Council at Tulsa's final, citywide NeighborFest on Tuesday, Aug. 15, 6-8 p.m., at McClure Park, 7440 E. Seventh Street.

The event is combined with the annual National Night Out event hosted by the Citizens Crime Commission, and will focus on public safety, with a display of information and equipment from local law enforcement agencies, including the police helicopter, the mobile command post, the bomb team and robot, the armored personnel carrier, the dive team and much more.

You'll also have a chance to meet Tulsa Public Schools' new superintendent, Dr. Michael Zokolski, tour a school bus, get school safety tips and sample the popular "wacky cake" served in school cafeterias.

The McClure Pool will be open (and free!) and there will be plenty of other free kids' activities, including a Jupiter Jump, crafts, and fitness demonstrations.

The first 1,000 people get a free souvenir water bottle, and among the many prizes to be given away in drawings are school supply kits, gift certificates, event tickets and some of the new Tulsa Public School middle school uniforms. There will be free hot dogs for the first 1,000 people, as well as apples and snack mix donated by Wild Oats and food samples from Qdoba restaurant. Plus there will be free ice cream and Pepsi.
