We had Delaware State Police Aviation, Sussex County Paramedics, DELJIS, 911 Center, Western Sussex County Youth Soccer Association, Blades United Methodist Church, Blades Elementary School, Blades Volunteer Fire Company brought their smoke house, and WSUX broadcasted live from the park pavilion.

We handed out 200 frisbees, 300 t-shirts, 51 pizzas, 128 hamburgers, 200 hot dogs, 700+ beverages, and 200+ cups of Mango Rita’s Ice.

We also raffled off 6 bicycles with helmets! The crab raffle raised $700.00 for BNO!

We had over 600 in attendance! Everyone had a great time!

Mayor and Council wishes to thank all the employees and the Blades Volunteer Fire Company for all their assistance in making this a extremely successful national night out!
