Posted by Fred Steiner on August 4, 2019 - 1:50pm

We can’t wait until Tuesday evening. Can you?

It’s National Night Out, says Lt. Matt Oglesbee, of the Bluffton police department.

Last year the event gobbled down 2,400 hotdogs, 1,200 bags of chips and 2,500 caps of pop and water.

“This year looks like a repeat of last year,” said Oglesbee, who oversees the sixth annual Bluffton National Night Out, which is a community-police awareness-raising event. Bluffton's event is sponsored by the Bluffton police and Pandora police departments.
