Also, out of over 16,000 participating communities, Olney’s 2023 event was ranked 16th in their population category!
Jaime Costolo, Olney Chamber Deputy Director, tells us “We’re incredibly proud of our event which brings together local public safety organizations, public officials, businesses, food, entertainment and about 5,000 residents! It’s a very large coordinated effort and using OnePlan to place exact display vehicles, kids activities, staging and so much more into a layout that can be shared with numerous organizations is essential. We also use the layout to ensure safety and logistics at the event by figuring out where barricades need to be placed and how vendors can access their location, as well as where people will be stationed to ensure traffic patterns are maintained.”
She continues, ” We work with over 70 businesses and organizations to make the event happen, so having a place where we can keep making additions and changes up to the day of the event is important! We love using OnePlan! It’s a great tool!”
The free family-friendly event takes place on August 6th and is sponsored nationwide by the National Association of Town Watch (NATW). Olney’s NNO will feature a DJ, demonstrations, martial arts and dance performances, face painting, giveaways and more! As well as educational information on fire and crime prevention. If you live near Olney, Maryland, it is not one to miss!
