Avalon - In response to a spouter complaining about National Night Out, it happens once a year and the children love it. If the noise is too much, go to dinner off the island or go see a movie. As far as thinking there is an emergency when you hear a siren, if you aren’t a first responder, what are you planning to do? The date is not a surprise, and it's limited to a few hours. If you can’t leave the island, ear plugs are an alternative. Meeting the police, fire and rescue staff and seeing their vehicles up close in a non-emergency situation is a learning experience.
