The Botetourt County Sheriff’s Office hosted BOCO Night Out last Friday evening at Fincastle Baptist Church, bringing the community together for a night of family fun, live entertainment, and meaningful connections with local first responders.
“We had an incredible turnout for this year’s BOCO Night Out,” said Sheriff Matt Ward. “It was great to see so many families come out to enjoy the evening and connect with the men and women who serve Botetourt County every day. We are truly thankful for a community that stands behind its first responders.”
Attendees had the opportunity to meet the men and women behind the badge— those who serve and protect Botetourt County every day. The event featured live music by Pleading the 5th, a variety of food vendors, and an exciting fireworks finale that lit up the night sky.
Families enjoyed a wide range of activities throughout the evening, including bouncy houses, a climbing wall, interactive displays, and a K-9 demonstration. Kids and adults alike explored emergency vehicles up close, and adventurous guests even took a turn on the mechanical bull.
BOCO Night Out celebrated the spirit of community and gave residents a chance to connect with local law enforcement and emergency personnel in a fun, relaxed setting. With a strong turnout and enthusiastic participation, the event proved to be a fun evening connecting with the county’s law enforcement, first responders, and community leaders.
