One of the consistently well-received events in Vance County occurs from 4 to 7 p.m.: the Henderson-Vance Night Out Against Crime. Expect to see between 1,000 and 1,500 people head to L.B. Yancey Elementary School to eat free hot dogs, receive free T-shirts, drink free sodas, see a helicopter and other public safety displays, and generally get the message that law enforcement officers are people too. State Rep. Michael Wray is due to deliver the keynote speech at the eighth annual event.
