Marion County residents had a chance to show their appreciation and give thanks to first responders Tuesday evening, as the 2nd annual Marion County Public Safety Night Out was held on the Knoxville square in commemoration with 9/11.
First responders from across the community showcased their equipment, with food provided by HyVee. Marion County Emergency Management Coordinator Jeff Anderson tells KNIA/KRLS News just as last year’s event was a success, the community showed their support this year and he thinks Marion County first responders do a great job at what they do, and residents gave appreciation on an emotional day. The KNIA/KRLS Lil’ Big Red Radio was on location playing music and making announcements.
