🤝❤️ Join Us for National Night Out 2026! ❤️🤝

The Erie County Blotter is honored to stand alongside our friends and community partners as we come together for National Night Out 2026, an evening dedicated to strengthening the relationships between our community, first responders, and the organizations that work every day to make Western New York a safer and more compassionate place to live.

This isn’t just another event. It’s an opportunity to meet the men and women behind the badges, helmets, and rescue efforts. It’s a chance for families to ask questions, learn about public safety, discover local animal rescue organizations, and simply enjoy an evening together.

We’ll be joining an incredible group of organizations and volunteers, including our friends at Rescue Buffalo, The Pit Chic Canine Behavior & Training, Allie & Pals Rescue, Nickel City Canine Rescue, Mel’s K-9, and many others who are committed to making a difference in our community.
