Jamestown Apartments in Seymour hosted a block party and health fair Tuesday for residents to celebrate National Night Out.
The event is a crime prevention and awareness day observed in communities across the country.
It’s the only site in Jackson County that takes part in National Night Out, encouraging its residents to come together to recognize the importance of neighborhood participation in the fight against drugs, crime and violence, said Myra Mellencamp, property manager at Jamestown.
